| 1231682 | 2011-09-17 03:34:00 | Now I have a job I am going to start looking at getting my freenas box built, would people recommend a hardware or ZFS software raid? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1231683 | 2011-09-17 03:44:00 | There's been songs sung about Reenas Box. Oops sorry, Spelling Mistakes. You said Freenas Box. I'd better stop now before I get banned. ;) |

| 1231685 | 2011-09-17 04:23:00 | I always thought that too but I have been hearing that ZFS is really great for a software raid on Freenas/Linux | nedkelly (9059) | ||

Depending on your use, you may be better with version 7 over 8 too, 8 seems to have lost a lot of functionality IE itunes server/torrent box. |

| 1231687 | 2011-09-17 05:23:00 | Hmm dont think I will be missing a torrent box seeing as we cant use them any more | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1231688 | 2011-09-17 10:19:00 | i guess you also have to think about what the raid is being used for eg data redundancy or speed if its speed then you have to have a hardware setup otherwise you will be confined to the speed of your single partitioned drive thus defeating the purpose of a raid array | milkster1976 (16554) | ||
| 1231689 | 2011-09-17 10:27:00 | I just want redundancy, If I wanted speed I would go Raid 1 Mirroring with sata3 hard drives | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1231690 | 2011-09-17 12:32:00 | then either way wont really matter what ever is easiest or on hand will do the job software is usually easier to setup than hardware | milkster1976 (16554) | ||
| 1231691 | 2011-09-17 12:36:00 | so im right back to where I started? Looks like I will have to keep looking in to it. |
