Review on FreeNAS by Jeremy Gums

Revainrating 4 out of 5

FreeNAS - FreeNAS is the perfect NAS for me.

I love that it's free, very powerful, can be used as a NAS or file server. It's easy to use for even novice users. If you're looking for something simple, this is perfect! Easy to install and set up. The interface looks outdated, but it works just fine. I've been using FreeNAS to store my media files for about 4 years now. I have no complaints. It does what I need it to do without any problems. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a basic file/NAS server. I'm storing all of my music in one place. It makes it easier for me to get to them when needed. In addition to being able to access my files from anywhere, I can also back up my files to a cloud service like dropbox or Google Drive.
