- Globally distributed "[cloud](/notes/cloud)" object storage
- Uses excess storage on third-party-owned drives
- Optional S3 compatibility uses server-side encryption, i.e. comes at the price of losing client-side (end-to-end) encryption
- Cheaper than [AWS](/notes/aws)
- [Integrated with TrueNAS SCALE](https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/ix-and-storj-deliver-globally-distributed-storage-to-truenas/)
