Hello nice people, I am a new member but been following this forum for a long time. I want to setup a local NAS for just personal use. Just few PCs backup, few docker/k8 containers and few lxc containers. So TreuNAS scale kind of fits all the requirements. In the hardware area, I know based on...

Hi Everyone, I'm a new person to the forums, however, before posting this thread I have done a lot of research and gathered lots of information so I just wanted to make sure that my understanding of the information is correct and if not if you could please kindly point me in the right...

I just came across an Intel I7 6700 at work for free along with ten 2TBs HHDs. I know none of them are Nas grade hardware. But I'm not storing super important data. So I wont need ECC Ram either. I would like to make a FreeNas for shared files, Backups and use it as the storage array for the...

I have been using freenas for at least 6 years, with a great performance out of a Huge PC, But now we are going as the book states :) What about the below HW config? do the dell HBA330+ good for freenas ? does it suffer any drawbacks with freenas ? and please any recommended modification for the...

(The BackGround) I built a NAS in late 2016 to act as a plex media server. This is the only function i need the machine to perform. When i built it i think the version of freeNAS was 9.3, it ran beautifully. It wasn't the fastest machine on the plane but it could support 5 or 6 simultaneous...

Hey guys, I am soliciting advise/opinions on what to eventually replace my current WD Red 4TB drives with. I'm in no hurry to do this, as my drives have been in service for only 3.81 years, and have exhibited no issues to date (see below). ADA0 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 001 001 000...

Hello, I tried to put together a FreeNAS build earlier, but jumped into it a little early with not enough research, and had a bunch of compatibility issues and got in over my head. ECC is what really kicked my butt, having a MOBO that "supports" ECC (as non-ECC), not understanding difference...

I am planning to upgrade my FreeNAS Box (FreeNAS-8.3.1-RELEASE-x64 (r13452) ) to the current Version 11 and I need some guidance as to the best alternative for Boot Volume. I am attempting to choose between 2 Mirrored USB Flash Drive and a Single SSD. In 8.3 I am using a single v8.3 USB...

Hi Did some reading at muliple locations on multiple forums but still hoping to hear from to guru's for verification i'm doing the right thing. On eBay i found the config mentioned below Motherboard : SuperMicro X10SRi-F CPU : Intel Xeon E5 1620v3 Memory : 4x Micron 8GB 1RX4 PC4-2133P-RC0-10...

Good afternoon all, Currently I have an old Mac Pro that has OS X + OpenZFS installed, I've got four 3TB WD Reds configured in a RAIDz - the OS is on a USB stick. On top of this, I have a FreeBSD VM running with Jails for Nextcloud, Quassel Core, and GitLab. It's a rather expensive way of...

I'm hovering over the purchase button for the FreeNAS Mini - the form factor and specs are pretty much ideal for me. I'm just curious how up to date the hardware is, it seems like it's been around for a while with no changes. I also noted some concern over the reliability of the motherboard used...

Firstly, Thank You! for all the information on this site for the newbies like me. I have tried to learn from the stickies and the forum. Still reading but feel I am ready to order the HW. I understand the specs maybe a bit excessive, but it is mostly current tech, and in this case excess is...

Bonjour, Je suis un peu un newbie dans le domaine, j'aimerais savoir si j'ai bien compris le concept et corriger moi si c'est faux. Je compte utiliser FreeNas avec son système de tolérance de crash de HDD et donc ceci grâce au Raid software de ZFS d'après ce que j'ai compris. Le système n'a pas...
