They've added many features and utilities over the years and is rock solid.
It supports Dockers, VMs and community developed apps. And it runs off nothing but a simple USB stick.
My UnRaid is running as a VM inside of ESXi, and has been flawless.
Anyone have questions, I can help answer.
IMO, the major benefits of unRAID are:
1.) Being able to use different sizes disks and still have redundancy.
2.) Having a cache drive for fast storage that requires a lot of reads and writes (Plex, VMs, container storage, etc)
3.) Good webgui that makes managing containers quite simple.
The biggest downside by far is performance. Write speeds on the array itself aren't great - I get maybe 100MB/sec if I'm lucky.
For those that don't know, Unraid is a great alternative to a Synology or Qnap NAS where you build the server yourself out of old or new PC parts depending on what you want to do with it.

Based on what I gather UnRaid system requirements seem to be more forgiving than TrueNas.
UnRaid community seems to be very big, same with TrueNas. Not sure about Open Media Vault as I haven't checked but I will imagine it has a considerable community too given that it is popular on the Raspberry Pi community.
UnRaid and TrueNas seem to be easier to deploy dockers, VMs, and other apps like plex. Open Media Vault seem to support linux containers natively and can do Docker if you add it, it is a little bit more of leg work to deploy things like plex from within it or a container.
I've used Unraid since 2008ish and it has been an incredible experience. I've looked at alternatives from time to time but always stayed with Unraid. It really does have it all.
This thread contains a pretty standard experience for new users comparing the 2 pieces of software.
If you want ease of use, very loose hardware requirements, built in Docker/VM support, and the ability to expand to a lot of drives (similar to JBOD experience with redundancy) go with Unraid.
If you absolutely need fast performance, or can't fathom paying for the license, go with FreeNas/TrueNAS. You can use Dockers and VMs on it but it does require research and time to get them setup and working properly. Just know that because TrueNAS is similar to traditional RAID, you can not easily mix and match drives together into a pool like you can with Unraid. As far as I know, you can not easily expand your pool if you are running out of storage space and want to add in a new drive. Now you might say, "well I'm buying 100TBs of space and that's more than enough..." well that might be enough now but eventually it will fill up. Also I am not a fan of having extra drives spinning with no purpose. It's a waste of wear and tear on the hardware and electricity. I keep around 2-4TBs available in my array and buy a new drive when I need it (or if I see a killer deal).
Finally, both have great communities with an insane amount of info and support, but only Unraid has spaceinvaderone

Write speeds to the array are slower than RAID because of the way parity works on unRAID. Read speeds are as fast as a single hard drive though so pretty good there. A cache drive improves write speed to the speed of the cache drive then moves the data automatically to the array on a schedule.
It's really great!
1. I can lose 2+ hard drives without losing the ENTIRE array, you just lose what's on those 2+ drives.
2. I have a dual parity protected 300tb array with 24 drives of various sizes from 14tbs to 6 tbs. When I started I had about 50tbs of various sizes. The expandability is unmatched, you can increase the size of your array without need to buy 4-6 hard drives of the same size, that saved me a ton of money and allowed be to upgrade with prices were good, and slowly instead of all at once.
I just purchased 4 14tb drives and replaced 2 12tb parity drives and 2 6tb drives that I had in my array, My array was down for the time it took me to remove the drives and replace them.
Also I'm against parity stuff myself due to the difficulty of recovery in case of failure vs. mirroring. I just mirror partitions on different physical drives when getting redundancy with a bunch of mismatched drives.

Not sure the best way to start a server build with a very large array.
