What is Storj?
Storj is an open-source distributed object storage Web3 alternative to Amazon S3.
Why use Storj? What are the benefits of using Storj?
iX-Storj is integrated into TrueNAS CORE versions 13.0-U3 and beyond, and into TrueNAS SCALE 22.02.4 and beyond. It is recommended that TrueNAS Enterprise customers using iX-Storj consider the latest version prescribed on our software status page.
Where do I sign-up for an iX-Storj account?

Who uses Storj? Here are some case studies. The main types of customers who require Storj are:
Here’s a brief overview: https://www.storj.io/node
I have a lot more questions. What other resources do you have that I may seek out information on my own or ask others?
Storj is an open-source distributed object storage Web3 alternative to Amazon S3.
Why use Storj? What are the benefits of using Storj?
- Benefits of privacy, security, performance, and reliability
- Default eleven 9s of durability with no replication required
- Zero-trust by default using end-to-end encryption
- Multi GB/s performance capability
- 80+% cost savings
- Use cases requiring industry-leading RTO (recovery time objective) or distribution of large amounts of data
- A Fraction of the Cost - The iX-Storj service is identical to the standard Storj service at $4 per TB per month*. This compares with single-region AWS S3 at $25 per TB per month. Bandwidth (egress) prices for iX-Storj are $7/TB* compared with AWS at $90/TB. 80% lower in price, or for the same price, store 5X the data with iX-Storj with the added value of multi-region durability.
- Double the Bandwidth - The iX-Storj services leverages the aggregated bandwidth capabilities of globally distributed storage. Read and Write bandwidth of GigaBytes per second is possible from a well-connected data center. Performance is typically more than double that of AWS S3, which enables much faster restoration of data.
- 11 Nines of Durability - This level of data protection equates to the probability of data being retained for a year at 99.999999999%. To put it in context, if storing a Petabyte of data, one object might be lost every 1,000 years. This is extremely high durability and suitable for both backup and long-term archive applications, much like AWS S3. If the data is also stored on a TrueNAS system, the durability is orders of magnitude higher than single-region AWS S3.
- Running as a client
- Running as a Storj Node
- Running both at the same time

Who uses Storj? Here are some case studies. The main types of customers who require Storj are:
- IT organizations and developers looking for an alternative cloud object storage, with easy S3 compatibility, for the benefits of security, privacy, performance, and reliability
- Those seeking cost-savings, particularly for use cases requiring high egress or large files
