The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. ![]() You don't get cloud integration included as standard with OpenMediaVault, but you can add this with additional plugins, or by using a relevant Debian package.This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build. Using Debian as it's base means that OpenMediaVault installations get to take advantage of the large number of Debian packages available. As it's Debian-based, ext4 is the default file system, but you can install others like JFS or XFS. However, it doesn't have some of the more advanced features that FreeNAS has, like hot-swapping or the OpenZFS file system. OpenMediaVault and FreeNAS have some crossover features, such as storage monitoring, Samba/NFS file sharing, and RAID disk management. Talking of active development, OpenMediaVault gets minor updates on a monthly basis, with major releases occurring nearly every year. Unlike FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault is based around Debian, one of the best Linux distributions thanks to its stability and active development. It's open source, so it's completely free to use and distribute and has had over 4 million downloads. It's been around since 2009 and was created as a successor to FreeNAS by one of its original developers when that project was facing a major re-write. OpenMediaVault has a strong NAS pedigree. It also supports integration with cloud storage providers like Amazon S3 and Google Cloud out of the box. This means it'll work great with devices running any OS-Windows, macOS, and Linux included. It covers almost every data sharing protocol, such as Samba and NFS. Whatever your disk management, FreeNAS supports it RAID, hot-swapping, and disk striping are all supported under the OS. It uses the OpenZFS file system, which supports pooled and scalable storage.įreeNAS has features you'd find in enterprise-level NAS devices, like data snapshots and practically unlimited storage limits. Unlike our other two contenders, FreeNAS is based around FreeBSD, a Unix-based cousin to the Linux kernel, used in Amahi and OpenMediaVault. It's also got the biggest development team, thanks to corporate backing from its parent company, iXsystems. It's been in development since 2005 and has over 10 million downloads to its name. FreeNAS is probably the best known NAS operating system out there. ![]()
