A NAS unit is essentially a self-contained computer connected to a network, with the sole purpose of supplying file-based data storage services to other devices on the network.

FreeNAS is server software that allows you to turn any computer with a hard drive into a dedicated network-attached storage (NAS) box. It is based off of FreeBSD and is open-source. FreeNAS takes up less than 64 megabytes when installed is is configured via the FreeNAS WebGui, which is accessed by typing in the IP address of the FreeNAS server in any web browser. FreeNAS also can be used as a software RAID. All hardware RAID cards that support FreeBSD are supported by FreeNAS.

FreeNAS can be installed on a partitioned hard drive (done for you during installation), or on a compact flash (CF) or USB drive. Installation on a seperate drive is recommended, as then additional power and encryption options are avaliable. External USB hard drives, such as MyBooks, can be plugged into a FreeNAS server and shared. FreeNAS requires a monitor and keyboard for inital installation and configuration, however once that is completed no monitor or keyboard is required. Additional and advanced configuration is done via the WebGUI. FreeNAS requires 64 megabytes of RAM for a basic installation, however more (up to 512 mb) is required for RAID configurations. FreeNAS supports SMB/SAMBA/CIFS Windows File Sharing, FTP, NFS, SSH, RSYNC, AFT, and UPnP. It also can be used to encrypt drives on the server.

FreeNas is an open sourse implementing off NAS (Network Attached Storage).

You can use FreeNas with many operation systems, like MS Windows, Mac system 7, 8, 9 and X, Linux etc.
On Nas You can store backups, photo albums, movies and make them available for all your boxes on your network.

Give it a try...

If you’re looking for a NAS device and you have a spare computer around, I would definitely recommend checking out FreeNAS.

The installation is simple, the interface is simple, and it supports a wide variety of connection protocols. Not to mention you can’t beat its price of free.

Take a weekend and setup your box; trust me, you’ll love it.

And it´s Great for old Macs
1) Win Xp running Basilisk emulator Mac System 7.5.5 Worked Ok.
2) Using Mac FX and SE/30 with System 7.5.5 and it worked OK.
It´s a nice backup solution if you have a lot off docs on old macs.
Our backup solution is FreeNAS, both 1 & 2 works OK.

And system 7 only support up to 2 GB HD
With FreeNas you can mont Terabyte disk!
