Hello All,
I've had an OpenIndiana / napp-it NAS server running at home for about seven or eight years. It was 8x2TB drives at RAIDZ2. I pretty much built it, shared out the drive space, and walked away. I've been happy as a clam with it the whole time. The 2TB drives in it are starting to go, so I figured it was time to build a new one.
When I looked at building another OpenIndiana/napp-it server, the whole thing had changed radically. Back seven or eight years ago, FreeNAS wasn't as robust a solution. It lacked a lot of the features available in napp-it's solution. Now FreeNAS seems to have caught up with a vengeance.
So... long story short, I'm looking into FreeNAS and specc'ing out a new server.
