Hi Guys,
I want to have a very simple NAS that can be used as a home server. I have an Athlon 5350 with 8Gb and only 2 disk which I want to mirror. I used to run Openmediavault on it but found that it wasn't very stable at all. Sometimes it would just break down for no apparant reason and I was getting sick of it. I figured out that FreeNAS has a much bigger comminity and dev team so thought it would be more stable. However I'm running into so much trouble already setting it up that I'm seriously beginning to doubt it....
Now the key is I don't want much. I just want to have a NAS to download some torrents and serve is trough SMB an NFS to my laptop and KODI. Also I'd like to use owncloud to synnc about 50 GB of files.
Now I just want a system that I can setup once, prefrably trough a web gui but I wouldn't mind doing things through SSH if there is a clear guide and as long as I don't run into a 1000 problems. Do you think FreeNAS is the proper choice for me?
