It won't FreeNAS.Howto install FreeNAS on TS-251 or other x86 based QNAP devices?
To be fair, it has a 64-bit CPU, and can have up to 8 GB of RAM. It's possible that it could FreeNAS, but only just barely.the QNAP TS-251 has not even enough power or memory to run FreeNAS...
Ok my bad.To be fair, it has a 64-bit CPU, and can have up to 8 GB of RAM. It's possible that it could FreeNAS, but only just barely.
ZFS would be the obvious one, but you'd lose any of the media features the thing seems to have. And it's kind of expensive to just give you two bays. I have no idea how prices are in .de, but here you can get a base-model HPE server for US$200. More bays, more CPU, more RAM capacity, though certainly more size and probably more noise.what benefit would you have of using FreeNAS instead of QTS?
Well, I try. Now, whether it's possible to install an arbitrary OS on the thing, much less how you'd go about it, I have no idea, and a quick Google is no help.
Correct. Your QNAP device falls far short of FreeNAS's minimum hardware requirements. That means you can't run FreeNAS on it. If you want to run FreeNAS, find, buy, or build suitable hardware.FreeNAS hardware requirements much higher http://www.freenas.org/hardware-requirements/
Who needs back doors when you have front doors? :D That said, I vaguely recall some people installing FreeNAS on more enterprise-y versions of QNAP with x86 processors and gobs of memory. Too lazy to actually look it up.I wish to install FreeNAS because it's Open Source and has most likely no government backdoor. Because I trust Open Source more and like to try out ZFS.

No you defenetly did not. The model is worth its price I think, but should run QTS as other operating systems do not work on a closed system.it means I bought a trash product? It was very pricy :-(
please look it up and post here a detailed tutorial. Thanks.
No, I'm sure it's a fine product for its intended purpose. Running FreeNAS is not its intended purpose, and it isn't at all suitable for that. At least three of us have told you that already, and have told you why, and you yourself can see that the hardware in your device is far below what's required to run FreeNAS.it means I bought a trash product?

Of course not. A hammer makes a terrible screwdriver. That doesn't make it a bad tool, it just means it wasn't designed to be a screwdriver.It's important to stress that this does not make your device a "bad device".
