ive been using yumi from pendrive linux instead of rufus unless it requires dd i prefer the multiboot feature . freenas is basically a stripped down debian so whynot just install ubuntu and configure that as a nas? other than the support as you point out that many downloads anything that can go wrong probably has and been solved and posted so just needs searching for to have a solution thanks for the video
@@mobiousenigma yes you can definitely go that path and go through all the hassle of installing needed stuff but thing is if you haven't used FreeNAS yet, I wonder how you would get its web interface and also support for many types of shares already built-in. yes you can definitely do it the hard way :) or just install FreeNAS specifically made for this job. unless you plan of using your debian box for other things aside from NAS then why....
Sakto po ito sir, But we are currently trying to implement this in the production.
Hello. I have an unused laptop at my house. Can i install the FreeNAS OS and use it as a NAS server? Or is it has to be a PC? Thank you.
@@timytimotius4679 as long as you can configure bios to boot from somthing other than its harddrive .as long as the hardware meets minimim specifications. any linux operating system can be installed. free nas is just a linux os where services are configured and packages installed to preform this task and almost no others whereas any linux os should be able to be configured to do the same thing as well as function in other capicities. to install any os 1 check minimum hardware specifications linux 1 ghz cpu 1gb ram and storage to install and run it from15gb minimum some will run on less. 2 configure bios to boot from install media whatever that is. 3 boot the install media and install the system. 4 remove install media reboot system and configure. thats the process the devil is in the details word of caution backup any data of value to a seperate storage device beforehand as any errors in partitioning will lead to data loss..the install process deletes everything on its partition during install so be correct in that process
I have been researching DIY NAS for so long and finally I have found an easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
Love your hair colour💖
Freenas is the best..been using it for years..easy raid setup..tons of features..built in virtualization is also a great feature if your into that also..
@@RetroGFX-uOS Hello i have a question. can i use ordinary HDD for this set up ?
@@rockyflores8413 you can for storage..i recommend installing the operating system on a flash drive
@@vinay2641 me too! She's like when my daughter spilled gallons of paint on her hair, she was crying but we told her it was ... "Beautiful" Hehe! Our hope is she will be an adult and laugh at those childhood moments!
nice.. simple and straightforward.. no useless chatter.. it's a perfect guide for newbies..
I am replacing my 10 year old HP Zeon based workstation, and thought crossed my mind to set up a NAS. THANKS for making it clear how straight forward and easy this is to do!!!
did you do it how it went
This is exactly what my father and I have done. He is retired, and no longer needs his old pc. Which isn’t bad for its time at all: ivy bridge i5, 16gb of ram...we’ve now got 5 discs in it 😀 and it acts as nas, and Plex server.
How much power draw the server has?

Nice job! I have been storing my music collection of 1000 CDs (compact disc) on a Windows 10 laptop that was dedicated only for music. What a disappointment it was trying to access my music with Windows. If I didn't access the music computer regularly, I would have to wait and wait for system updates and antivirus, and advertisements, etc. You have given me a new tool to access my music again. Thanks so much!!
did you do it, how it went any problems?
excellent... I've been looking for an inexpensive but reliable system...but now I've found a use for my old box!
Thanks for great information on Free NAS. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Just brilliant ☺. I can't remember the last time I came across a more informative video. 😎
Excellent tutorial!. Planning to build NAS systems for my home and ministry. Your guide is really easy to follow. Thanks.
did you do it how it went?
This is good. Thanks for sharing. Atleast I can do something for my old PC haven't use for long time.
your video makes my day. beautifully explained with good graphics. Thanks for this.
This is what I'm looking for!
Clean and simple instruction
Salamat po
This is the best tutorial for FreeNas!
My old school: *Has 20 desktops laying around*
Also school: *Proceeds to replace them all with chromebooks*
Me: *Is glad I graduated a year later*
God ikr I think it’s cause chromebooks are passively cooled so they heat up faster causing it to slow down to prevent overheating
@@EyesOnlyTeam86 what exactly do we mean by RAID2?
Honestly, I'd rather use a Chromebook than a school computer. Chrome OS is so light that it runs a lot better on really cheap hardware so you are probably gonna have a better experience on the Chromebook than the school computer running Windows.
@@drabberfrog They're quite limited and terrible. No photoshop, no specialty programs for different classes. Internet goes down? Then no computing for you. Just chrome. I'd rather carry a Raspberry Pi 400 and a cell phone battery around with the quaint 7" display. and the Pi mouse.
@@imperiumcommentingnetwork4677 but at my school at least, there's no way those windows laptops or all in one's could run Photoshop they take long enough to even boot and open Chrome. The only decent school computers in the entire school are in the computer classroom because they are used to run actual applications like Photoshop.
Fantastic presentation. You rocked guiding how to set up a NAS from an old computer.
Thank you. Have an 80 TB NAS but also several computers I'm not using. You have given me an idea.
there is only a word for this video : perfection
Thanks for sharing this video ... Your tutorial was simple, clear, good organized and really helpful ... I'll give you a BIG LIKE.
thank you for the explanation, this will help to make a DAS Storage System from an old pc. I still have a good old pc with 4 hard drives in it. I will only use this system in my home music studio.
I am very grateful for the explanation
Great tutorial , had our business NAS setup in a few hours and everyone connected. Thank you 👌👌

Dude.. Thanks. I have about 20 old machines so I'll dump FreeNAS onto my Dell T3500 as a network drive. Nice.
big help for beginer like me, thanks for sharing this
Great video, thanks for your help. Created a server and a share for my Mac.
now this is the OS I'm going to use for deploying 5 servers,all running a mix of Enterprise and consumer hardware (mostly due to LTT). though I'd be adding quite a lot of 16tb hard drives.
Very good job.
God bless you
Great video, totally gonna try it.
great great video. thank you so much for the excellent step by step guide.

Love this video, it helped a lot. Though now 11.3 is out, it doesn't allow you to edit pool permissions right off the bat anymore. Got a little stuck, any workaround for those hitting the same wall?

Amazing tutorial
I guess the old pc have to be turned on all the time
Useful! Thanks for sharing,.I have one request, if you can do a video connected to this, on how to remotely access FreeNas over the internet? Is it possible to port forward? Or by DDNS?
Nice one.. Thanks
excellent video
Thanks for Sharing
I completed the creation of a TrueNAS server last night (FreeNAS has been replaced). I tried to install the application on a RAID1 boot drive (2x120gb drives) and it failed twice. It does not like a RAID1 boot drive, to bad because I really wanted the protection. I removed the raid and installed the application again. This time it worked. I then added a RAID1 8TB pool and shared it. This all works perfectly.
The problem is I cannot add an existing drive, with data, to the machine to be able to copy the data to the new pool. I now have to pull the drives out and attached them to my desktop and transfer the data across (unless somebody knows a way around this).
Overall a good video, very helpful.
Good tutorial 👍
Very cool. Thanks.
Salamat Torogi!
THANKZ A LOT MATE
Good tutorial
Good video Free Nas was built for sharing files over the network. The only disadvantage is of course that your NAS needs to be turned on at all times. With a cloud storage provider, you can also share files without being worried about the electricity bill. Here in Belgium Electricity is very expensive a the moment. 😔
Thankfully though such NAS doesn't require a lot of power. You can make one with a small power supply and it shouldn't consume much when mostly idle.
@Cavi587 the size of power supply is not what determines power draw, it is the power rating of the components.
For power supply you would just want it to be a reasonable standard of efficiency.
great !!! thanks for sharing...
If you are primarily using a windows machine and have one of these NAS devices set up on Linux-based OS like FreeNAS, Openmediavault, don't use it unless you want to waste your time. Once I had to remove a hard drive from NAS in order to transfer files locally to my machine but it took about 30 min worth of effort to do so, involved a hook up on Pi, a lot of command typing, mount unmount, etc. Had it been a file format easily recognized by windows, it would have been like a minute of a deal.
Well done 👍
