I am now also looking for a SATA drive enclosure for NAS
I do have a Dell tower server for my FREENAS 7 server now but I have a server rack for everything else and I wanted a rack mount SATA enclosure if anyone knows of one.......for cheap
What was the sata card you used? And yes. Please do a video on how to replace a drive if one fails. Better yet, total disaster where the motherboard fails and we need to get the data off a drive safely
No. The Pentium D is vastly slower than a Core 2 Duo. This is because the Pentium D is a tarded dual core Pentium 4. And the Pentium 4 was never. Ever. A good processor. However, this means that the Pentium 4 is perfect for a NAS box. You don't need much processing power for a NAS.
In theory you want a lot of memory and a 64bit processor for hosting a share with ZFS. I'm running a ZFS share on a Pentium 4 with 1.5GB of memory. It's not bad at all. YMMV.
@praecorloth you are absolutely correct the Pent D is slower, it was a miss speak by pox. I am running the AMD64 version of FreeNas 8 and the processor isn't even taxed a little. my only complaint it that neither the PentiumD or Core 2 Duo can Accept more than 3.2 Gb of ram through the motherboard, even with a bios firmware upgrade it's a big No. as of right now it's been up and being toyed with by me fo a little over a month now. we have more FreeNas Shows, I hope you like them.
zfs can't add drives though... once a zpool is created it's set to a set amount of drives. I love zfs just wish I could add drives, but yes upgrading drive does work.
I really would never use that drive bay case too.. hopefully you can truelly use the jbod through a single sata cable
@joshruehlig I think you might be confusing zpools with vdevs. You can add vdevs to a zpool but you can't add more drives to a vdev without destroying and rebuilding the pool. So you can increase the size of a zpool by adding more vdevs. These guys make it sound like you can just add single drives as you like to increase the amount of storage, which is absolutely not true (look to the brilliant unRAID for that)
@joshruehlig we've addressed the zfs pool and our confusion between zfs and raid-z in other shows. I the housing is fantastic because i did my research and purchased the correct items to do JBOD over the SATA connection.
Awesome video guys! I look forward to all the other videos! There's nothing quite as fun as building a PC. I want to try running a FreeNAS some day. Once I decide to try it, I will be referring back to this video. Nice job, guys!
Ok, I’ve FreeNAS’ed before and I do like it. I also used your last FreeNAS video as a guide to set it up. In the past I just used it to pass files from my computer to my girlfriend’s computer but now I think I want to use it for backing up multiple computers and have a separate one for RAW still images for a small business. Right now the images are on an older Drobo so they can’t really be shared to easily.
I would like to see: setup, security options, & how to upgrade a RAID 5 to larger drives
Can freeNAS double up as a media server of which I can Stream movies to the ps3? Currently using a computer with shared folders to copy the movies to from a different computer and then running ps3mediaserver and sharing that folder to the ps3.
The annoying thing is having to have a mouse keyboard and monitor attached to control the media server pc which i prefer to control/configure using a webinterface like other NAS boxes. Also, is the bandwidth of your nas limited by the onboard 100/1000mbit
I cannot for the life of me remember the feature you need to stream media to the PS3/Xbox/whatever. It's present in FreeNAS .7 but there was a complete code re-write moving to 8 and that feature was left out. You can still get FreeNAS .7 which is very feature rich and very easy to use, and you can still get community support for it. If you've got a 100Mbit connection from your media server to you PS3, you're good to go for bandwidth. I stream on 54Mbit wireless without complaint. :)
@praecorloth you're thinking of upnp... and it looks like until version 8.1 their won't be official support for a upnp server in FreeNas again. right now i'm just using a second linux computer to host my media server and using NFS to mount the drive. The computer doesn't know the difference and streaming hasn't been an issue. My 100Mb connection has been maxed out recently with a 1Tb file transfer.. for like 28Hrs at 100Mbs. i tweeted pics of my network data meter on my twitter @tommy5c

@shunjingus right now upnp server isn't part of the FreeNas8 build it should be expected in the 8.1 version. My trick is to use a second Linux box and mount a Drive/Dataset to it using NFS (speed reasons) and the computer really doens't know it's not a local drive. then i run MediaTomb as my Upnp server. It works on My Sony Google TV, PS3, and Western Digital box. But it is a separate computer running to make it possible. In the future I plan on using Mythbuntu
Is it possible to have 2 or more FreeNAS boxes to also backup to each other over the internet? I may not want to backup the whole NAS but say, having a my parents' documents and my computer's documents backed up between my apt and their house would create a whole-new area of redundancy.
@CJGross have you considered using FTP? our Next show on FreeNas8 is setting up the FTP client. Uses can Push/Pull to a Data protected Dataset and use it as a backup or community access folder if you wish. Beware that depending on permissions, anyone with access can delete those same files off the FreeNas
Need to configure essentially, auto-backups from several computers in network(computers are windows7), torrents, connection to LDAP, reporting is something is going bad...
I want to see this up and running. Can you guys show how how to make this work with mac os x 10.7 lion? My freenas 7 box quit working when I updated to lion. Also can you show how to make the nas so it has encrypted user logins? And do you know if it is possible to set up a vpn server on it? I'd like to make my own PPTP server as well.
Dont know why, but I am geting some psphacking101 vibbes :P

I want to install FREENAS 8 on a USB on Dell PE 2650 but my current FREENAS 7 box is using SATA drives that are not compatible with my 2650.
2 questions
1. How can I update from Freenas 7 to 8 without loss of data?
2. how can I take my existing disks and get them running on the new server?
