I'm new to FreeNAS, read most of the documentation, but still confused when it comes to selecting the right hardware. I have stumbled upon an offer for a - AMD Threadripper 1920x - Asrock X399 Taichi Socket TR4 I suppose these are good for a FreeNAS build for domestic usage, but I'd really...

Hello everyone, I've just successfully builded FreeNAS-11.2-U5 on my old HW (see bellow). Everything is working fine instead of Virtualization. I am afraid of old CPU model AMD Athlon 4850e. Anyway this is old AMD from Athlon family which should be supported by FreeNas. Isn't it ??? I have in...

I've been searching the web and forums to try and find a straight answer but it must not be as simple as I had hoped. When I start a VM, FreeNAS says VM Started, but the info column still says State: STOPPED. I get these messages in the console Jul 17 15:49:02 freenas tap0: Ethernet...

Hello Noobie here, I've done some reading up on raid and FreeNAS and still have so many questions. I'm an IT network engineer so considered a geek but I've never really dug into building raid before. My plan was to rebuild my unused Windows 10 home built desktop into a FreeNAS, as its only...

Hello! This is going to be my first post on the FreeNAS forums. I have experimented with FreeNAS before on a VM but never used it in real life. Currently I am running Xpenology(DIY Synology) on my part scraped pretty random NAS but I can't really upgrade since the AMD support is lacking and the...

Hi FreeNAS community! I recently built a new "server" (using consumer parts, but that's the FreeNAS spirit) to replace a Pentium system which was lacking the power for VMs. However, I have stumbled across a problem with the CPU frequency being stuck at 3200 MHz constantly (which is the base...

I have been following the development/reviews of AMD's new platform, specifically its Ryzen chips and it seems quite promising. I found some threads on here from earlier in 2017 but haven't seen much discussion since then on when/if FreeNAS will work towards giving official support to Ryzen...

I apologize in advance if this is a redundant question, but I have been unable to find a definitive answer after researching for days now. Unable to install windows 7 or 10 64-bit in FreeNAS VM, hangs when GUI for windows installer attempts to load. Confirmed that the hardware should be...

Im a Noob to this as you will be able to tell. I would like to build a nas for my small office which will be used for accessing Large raw Image files and 4k video files it will be accessed from 4 mac computers on a gigabit network. I have a AMD processor and Motherboard that i have never used I...

Hello guys, just a quick question from my side. I use a Xeon E3-1225v3 in my setup. I am quite happy with this, but in the future I may need more horsepower for virtualisation. As Intel is the No.1 on the market and holds 90% of the server market, cause AMD had the Bulldozer CPU-design, Intel is...

Hallo Forum, ich möchte mir ein NAS zusammenbauen und habe 2 Boards zur Auswahl, bin aber unsicher welches ich nehmen sollte. 1. ASRock J3160-ITX oder alternativ 2. Asrock QC 5000 itx Zunächst soll nur Freenas mit Plugins darauf laufen...später evtl. mal auch was anderes (Server, Mediaplayer...

So... I've recently replaced my FX8350 with an Intel CPU. I now have a full PC worth of parts from upgrading over the years, a spare AM3+ motherboard, as well as an old free PC I got from work. So I wanted to make use of this. I thought of setting up a PC for virtual machines, as well as a...
