Hi everyone, I'm new to building a NAS, but I've been building my own computers for many years now. I built a HTPC a couple of years ago and I'm now maxing out that 3TB hard drive. My "main" PC is also maxing out on space (mostly pictures, music, programs, and various downloads) so I'm...

Hello all, FreeNAS newbie, putting together my first system.. I have been doing a lot of reading on this website and google about hardware recommendations. We are planning to build a High Availability, High Density storage in a single Chassis. Here are the parts identified. I want to know...

Hello to you all, I am building a NAS with FreeNAS as its OS because I am convinced that it is the best choice for this kind of job. Currently, I am doing a research and preparation for its hardware. My idea about this project with its traits and features is somewhat like: [business goals]...

I've run FreeNAS for a number of years now on a very low power AMD E-350 CPU, 16GB DDR3 non ECC RAM, and only the capability of 4 onboard SATA, and limited expansion via 1x PCIe slots after adding a dual port Intel Nic. Great part is it consumes only about 20w with the 4 x 2TB drives. I've kept...

My first system is an ancient Mini-ITX system with just 2 (mirrored) drives. I can't count on it lasting too much longer, though it served me well. So I hope to move up to the latest and greatest with storage I won't run out of for a long time. And I'd like to explore a bunch of other uses...

So close to pulling the trigger...just need a little advice first. Especially, since this will be my first build. I think I narrowed it down, but open to advice to reduce cost while keeping same effectiveness. To be honest, my head is spinning from all the options. I've been reading for...

Hello All I've been reading the forums with interest, and hopefully have pulled together the relevant threads on how to build a good rig. I'd appreciate any critique, on the below, which is replacing my ageing, and no longer working 5 bay / 15 TB Nas. That was a atom, with 4g, running a mix...

Hi everyone, I am relocating and need to sell this build in next 2-3 days. At suggestion/permission of a mod, I am posting it here. Please refer to notes at bottom for details. Here are the specs: AMD A6-6400K 3.9GHz Dual-Core Processor Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard...

Hi, I'm just seeking a bit of help as to whether I should go ahead and purchase this RAM I found. The main issue is whether or not the RAM is compatible with this motherboard. The list on the supermicro website is quite restrictive. The module below seems to fit the criteria of the board but...

Hi guys! This is my first post here on the FreeNAS forum. I currently own a Synology DS2413+ 12 bay NAS, that is populated with 12*4TB Seagate NAS drives in a Raid 6 configuration. I currently have no good backup plan for this Synology NAS (just backing up really important data to a off-site...

I am looking to build a new FreeNAS machine for backups for 1-2 people and a plex jail with 1 stream. Nothing too fancy. Here is the build I was thinking of, it is very similar to a build I found in someone's signature, but I cannnot find their username atm. My budget is around $1200, but would...

Hi everybody, I have been reading up a little bit on NAS solutions over the past few months, because I would like to build a NAS that can replace my current Synology NAS with 2x WD Red 3TB in RAID0. Yes I did make that error and it sometimes causes insomnia for me. That lead me to the FreeNAS...

Hi all, I am trying to build FreeNAS from source in order to be able to add to it. I was able to build the nightlies from Master branch with the instructions on README.md, but when I tried to build the stable version, it fails right at the beggining with the message: [0:00:44] ==> Failed...

let me start by saying I realize this is the FreeNAS forums, and that I am building a ZFS linux build, however there are a lot of knowledgeable people here that I would like to get input from, so I posted this in Off-topic. The reason I am planning to use ZFS under linux is because I use my...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any input. I set up my first FreeNAS system a couple months ago on an old machine (which meets none of the hardware recommendations). The plan was to test out FreeNAS, and if I liked it (which I really, really do), to make a custom build to run it on based on...

Hello there Everyone, I'm new to the game and came to this beautiful place by the recommendation of Wendell. After seeing his videos about free nas I thought to build one myself. The Build aka my old PC: Sabertooth z77 16gb Ram 2500k CPU 120GB Evo 840 3x 4TB WD Red bequiet 850W P9 Pro I know...

Hello all. I am looking to get into freeNAS and I would like to do it right. However, my very low budget makes this difficult. I was looking around for some used server gear to use as a basis for a freeNAS server, and I came across this on ebay...

I've been looking on this forum to select components. I'm just trying to validate that the selected components are complete and make sense (or possible optimizations). Intel Xeon E3-1245V5 Crucial - DDR4 - 32 GB : 2 x 16 GB - DIMM 288-PIN - 2400 MHz / PC4-19200 - CL17 - 1.2 V - ECC Samsung 850...

Hi everybody, first post here, finally! I’ve been lurking on this forum for a while now, reading the stickies and the constant stream of “proposed build” threads – and now I want to build my own FreeNAS system for home use. This is the first time I’m building a computer myself, so I still got...

I am about a week away from ordering all this stuff so I would pass this build by the forum one final time My use case is currently thus: it’s primarily going to be used as a file and media server, for 1-2 users. Ideally it would last me several years, and I expect data to grow at about...

Есть приложение, написанное с использованием Qt. Мне нужно собрать его, чтобы я мог запустить его на FreeNAS. Приложение консольное и работает с сетью. На машине с FreeNAS нет и не будет интернета. Но я могу туда подложить нужные файлы с флешки. Проблема в том, что я промучался не один день за...
