Hey everyone. I currently have a NAS system using FreeNAS but see that everyone on here seems to be using Unraid. What is the reason for everyone using Unraid over FreeNAS? The only issue I currently have is the lack of ability to install SAB, SB etc easily. I would also like to setup a mysql db for my media collection as well. This will relieve my main desktop computer as my server which is an i7 and a huge power hog. Any advice? Im currently running with 6x2TB drives in two different pools and have 2 drives as parity. Reason for the two drives is I started out with 3 drives and added a second set of 3 drives then combined the pools together. I want to start fresh with 1 pool with 6 drives and 1 parity drive so if im going to change NAS systems this is the time to do it. Im thinking of buying 2 3TB drives and moving all my media to them to hold while I make the swap.
