I’ve been using FreeNAS and it’s been great. There have been some small drawbacks but over all it’s been great. Hopefully this will improve stability.

- metalliqaz 7y agoI've also been using FreeNAS and I'm fairly happy with it. Their botched version 10 was not fun, and lately I'm annoyed by having to recreate all my Warden jails. I hope this transition doesn't ruin things.
- wil421 7y agoI read about the botched update and it was the first thing that came to mind. Hopefully FreeNAS will have less of a transition than TrueNAS.
- gmueckl 7y agoI'm considering switching from a QNAP NAS that reaches end of support to FreeNAS. It looks like a well thought out package. What are the drawbacks in your opinion?
- wil421 7y agoHardware support can be tricky and you need to make sure your mobo supports FreeBSD. The community has the angry sys admin mentality but they generally just want to help you build a robust system. Gotta do it their way. You can build your own which is what I did. i3/Super micro mobo/ECC Memory/6 WD red drives. I’m not really sold on their jails (VMs). Personally I feel more comfortable on Linux but ZFS and the features that come out of the box with FreeNAS won me over. I’ve looked at Open Media Vault (Debian based) a little bit but not interested in moving data.
- ErneX 7y agoI run Freenas virtualized on a esxi host (passing a dedicated SAS card to) it's pretty solid and I'm very happy with it.
