Hello,
As a FreeNAS happy user i would like to point out a question to see if your suggestions can help me to decide.
I have a custom NAS build with 6x3 TB WesternDigital drives and the following config:
System Information
Hostname freenas.local
FreeNAS Build FreeNAS-8.0.1-RELEASE-amd64 (8081)
Platform AMD E-350 Processor
Memory 7775MB
System Time Mon Apr 22 20:52:40 2013
Uptime 8:52PM up 81 days, 10 mins, 0 users
Load Average 0.00, 0.02, 0.00
OS Version FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3
FreeNAS version
Filesystem is ZFS with raidz1 protection.
As you can see it is a pretty old version of FreeNas but it is working pretty good in my environment, local GibE network, Mac client.
NAS use case is Media Library (most HD content), actually 10 TB of content in the NAS.
By the way i access using AFP protocol because after some tests with NFS i found that AFP gives more performance, at least with my config.
So here my question:
Would you recommend me to upgrade the OS?
Any real advantages in terms of performance? I actually get around 50 MB/s which is nice for most of the time
Of course i need first to be sure that my data is safe, because i dont want to loose all my data.
Any idea, comment, advice would be great,
Thanks for your help and best regards
