Looking to convert our very large, but outdated Openfiler system to FreeNAS. Given the specifications below (we purchased this custom server between 2014/2015), can I install FreeNAS? Any suggestions to change the system to make it operate faster and more efficiently? The SMB1 configuration and Openfiler in general is making me regret investing in this large capacity NAS. My hope is that an OS migration will fix a lot of the failings of the current system.
