Which version of FreeNAS should I install?

[Cronus94]

Hi all

I am currently in the process of building a home server, primarily to be used as a media server running plex and a couple other jails.

My question is, with this new server build is it better to install/run the newer FreeNAS 11 or the previous FreeNAS 9.10?

This is my first time using FreeNAS btw.

Unless you have a strong reason to do otherwise, install the current RELEASE version (i.e., 11).

I highly recommand 9.2

I highly recommand 9.2

It was fine back when it came out in 2013. But now, it's an unsupported older version.

For new installs, start with 11.0.

Is there a reason you're recommending a four-year-old release to a new user?

If it were me in your situation, I would go with the most current and stable release. Which is FN 11

You're right it's more better last night i upgrade it to 11.0
but honestly i've been working with 9.2 since 2013

And I've been working with Windows XP for a lot of years... doesn't mean I'd install it on a brand new system.
