![]() To set up FreeNAS you’ll need to download the installation ISO file from the FreeNAS website. FreeNAS recommends at least 8GB of RAM for optional performance with ZFS. The more advanced ZFS ( Zettabyte File System) is highly reliable and offers an array of features to preserve and protect data, but it also has much more overhead. Just about any system with 2GB or more of RAM should do. When using the UFS ( Unix File System), FreeNAS doesn’t require much memory or processing power. To emphasize reliable: We’ve framed this article around using spare hardware, but you shouldn’t use abused or utterly ancient drives for mission-critical storage. Ideally, FreeNAS should be installed on a small SSD or even a flash drive (though standard hard drives also work fine in a pinch), and the system should feature one or more reliable hard drives for bulk storage.
