[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1016317, member: 325666"] Well .. Having built and used Freenas myself for a good many years ..I have to agree .. Both Educational ..and Frustrating.. A great way to understand how a NAS/server works .. A pita ..after a power cut ..with drive corruption .. ..and data loss ...cos it's not like you can just slave the drive to a PC .. My advice ..if anyone wants it .. Buy a cheap UPS ..for the inevitable outage ...and save yourself some heartache.. OR ..do what I did .. build an additional cold store for your (backup) data.. I'd still be using Freenas if the price of commercial Home /business NAS hadn't dropped considerably .. A great way to learn ..lots of fun ...lots of frustration .. But elation when it all works smoothly.. :D Gonna enjoy reading about the project Chris .. plenty of piccys mate .. worth a 1000 words each .. [/QUOTE]
