Jabey-
I didnt mention it in the article and just now saw the blog but yes, we did drop a couple hundred bucks into the bin for FreeNAS and have since purchased an IXsystems rig. I didnt even think about the value of pointing out supporting OSS with donations. Rather, I was simply showing that the big box shops have nothing on FreeNAS’ performance and value. Great suggestions and yes, if you use OSS and love it, DONATE!

However, it is regrettable to note that there is no mention of a donation to FreeNAS listed in the costings. Hope that does not mean that no donation was made. Products such as these, especially when used for commercial/business purposes, should be rewarded, so that they continue to benefit the world.
BTW – this is not a plug for FreeNAS. I have no connection or affiliation with FreeNAS or any of it’s associates.

Usually costing as much as what you paid for your entire rig. If something does break, admins usually end up instaiing a part themselves. Their support has merit, but the returns on yearly fees is small to none in my experience.
Thanks for a good article. Great information.
