Out of curiosity did you compare with iXSystems? I have no association with them, only I sometimes watch the BSDNow podcast which they sponsor (and Kris Moore works for them doing PCBSD), so I often see their advertising. The show talks about freenas from time to time, e.g. episode 34. I'm curious how they compare when evaluated objectively, but I have no use for nas (or any new hardware) presently so would not take the time to compare myself. -- Mike Small smallm at sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
