ive been using yumi from pendrive linux instead of rufus unless it requires dd i prefer the multiboot feature . freenas is basically a stripped down debian so whynot just install ubuntu and configure that as a nas? other than the support as you point out that many downloads anything that can go wrong probably has and been solved and posted so just needs searching for to have a solution thanks for the video
@@mobiousenigma yes you can definitely go that path and go through all the hassle of installing needed stuff but thing is if you haven't used FreeNAS yet, I wonder how you would get its web interface and also support for many types of shares already built-in. yes you can definitely do it the hard way :) or just install FreeNAS specifically made for this job. unless you plan of using your debian box for other things aside from NAS then why....
Sakto po ito sir, But we are currently trying to implement this in the production.
Hello. I have an unused laptop at my house. Can i install the FreeNAS OS and use it as a NAS server? Or is it has to be a PC? Thank you.
@@timytimotius4679 as long as you can configure bios to boot from somthing other than its harddrive .as long as the hardware meets minimim specifications. any linux operating system can be installed. free nas is just a linux os where services are configured and packages installed to preform this task and almost no others whereas any linux os should be able to be configured to do the same thing as well as function in other capicities. to install any os 1 check minimum hardware specifications linux 1 ghz cpu 1gb ram and storage to install and run it from15gb minimum some will run on less. 2 configure bios to boot from install media whatever that is. 3 boot the install media and install the system. 4 remove install media reboot system and configure. thats the process the devil is in the details word of caution backup any data of value to a seperate storage device beforehand as any errors in partitioning will lead to data loss..the install process deletes everything on its partition during install so be correct in that process
I have been researching DIY NAS for so long and finally I have found an easy to follow tutorial. Thank you.
Love your hair colour💖
Freenas is the best..been using it for years..easy raid setup..tons of features..built in virtualization is also a great feature if your into that also..
@@RetroGFX-uOS Hello i have a question. can i use ordinary HDD for this set up ?
@@rockyflores8413 you can for storage..i recommend installing the operating system on a flash drive
@@vinay2641 me too! She's like when my daughter spilled gallons of paint on her hair, she was crying but we told her it was ... "Beautiful" Hehe! Our hope is she will be an adult and laugh at those childhood moments!
nice.. simple and straightforward.. no useless chatter.. it's a perfect guide for newbies..
I am replacing my 10 year old HP Zeon based workstation, and thought crossed my mind to set up a NAS. THANKS for making it clear how straight forward and easy this is to do!!!
did you do it how it went
Nice job! I have been storing my music collection of 1000 CDs (compact disc) on a Windows 10 laptop that was dedicated only for music. What a disappointment it was trying to access my music with Windows. If I didn't access the music computer regularly, I would have to wait and wait for system updates and antivirus, and advertisements, etc. You have given me a new tool to access my music again. Thanks so much!!
did you do it, how it went any problems?
Thanks for great information on Free NAS. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
This is exactly what my father and I have done. He is retired, and no longer needs his old pc. Which isn’t bad for its time at all: ivy bridge i5, 16gb of ram...we’ve now got 5 discs in it 😀 and it acts as nas, and Plex server.
How much power draw the server has?

Excellent tutorial!. Planning to build NAS systems for my home and ministry. Your guide is really easy to follow. Thanks.
did you do it how it went?
Just brilliant ☺. I can't remember the last time I came across a more informative video. 😎
excellent... I've been looking for an inexpensive but reliable system...but now I've found a use for my old box!
This is good. Thanks for sharing. Atleast I can do something for my old PC haven't use for long time.
your video makes my day. beautifully explained with good graphics. Thanks for this.
Thanks for sharing this video ... Your tutorial was simple, clear, good organized and really helpful ... I'll give you a BIG LIKE.
Fantastic presentation. You rocked guiding how to set up a NAS from an old computer.
Thank you for sharing this. It's straight to the point and well made. I subscribed to your channel for more contents.
This is the best tutorial for FreeNas!
Thank you so much for putting together this awesome tutorial!
Very simple and easy to follow! Your hard work will NOT be oversighted!
Thank you! Thank you!
Bless your heart! ♥️👍
p. s I love your Filipino accent.
Maraming salamat sa iyong pagsusumikap! Pagpalain ka ng Diyos!.... Keep those videos coming. Ibinigay kong maging tagahanga at subscriber sa iyong channel! 🙏
thank you for the explanation, this will help to make a DAS Storage System from an old pc. I still have a good old pc with 4 hard drives in it. I will only use this system in my home music studio.
I am very grateful for the explanation
thanks for the tutorial mate, been looking into home servers lately and ur vid definitely helped!
This is what I'm looking for!
Clean and simple instruction
Salamat po
Great tutorial , had our business NAS setup in a few hours and everyone connected. Thank you 👌👌
Thank you. Have an 80 TB NAS but also several computers I'm not using. You have given me an idea.
great, the entire explanation was very clear, thank you
there is only a word for this video : perfection
Nicely done, great video! Thanks!
now this is the OS I'm going to use for deploying 5 servers,all running a mix of Enterprise and consumer hardware (mostly due to LTT). though I'd be adding quite a lot of 16tb hard drives.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, awesome tutorial!
I was thinking of built one for myself bqz i need a lot of storage thanks it helped a lot
@@EyesOnlyTeam86 i do follow them 👍
Dude.. Thanks. I have about 20 old machines so I'll dump FreeNAS onto my Dell T3500 as a network drive. Nice.
This will be good for my home storage server. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the tutorial, man! Appreciated!
thanks, explained so simply
Very clearly explained for beginners..Kudos👍🔥
Love this video, it helped a lot. Though now 11.3 is out, it doesn't allow you to edit pool permissions right off the bat anymore. Got a little stuck, any workaround for those hitting the same wall?
Great tutorial! Thank you Torogi Pro!
Hey, great video! Thank you! I am now going to research how to mirror data between two 4tb drives using this software.
Thanks so much for a great tutorial. Let's give old tech new life!
Thanks for the information, I really wanted to create my own server atleast😅....This advise was so good and very easy to setup and understand. God Bless you bro..!
Great video, totally gonna try it.
Clean, neither to much nor to less in presentation. Thank you.
great great video. thank you so much for the excellent step by step guide.
Great video, thanks for your help. Created a server and a share for my Mac.
Very good job.
God bless you
Useful! Thanks for sharing,.I have one request, if you can do a video connected to this, on how to remotely access FreeNas over the internet? Is it possible to port forward? Or by DDNS?
big help for beginer like me, thanks for sharing this
*Congrat for 100K SUBSCRIBERS!!*
Good job man, I needed this
Thanks man!
Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful
This is a real deal... Subscribe right now.. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks mate. That worked like a dream.
Good video Free Nas was built for sharing files over the network. The only disadvantage is of course that your NAS needs to be turned on at all times. With a cloud storage provider, you can also share files without being worried about the electricity bill. Here in Belgium Electricity is very expensive a the moment. 😔
Thankfully though such NAS doesn't require a lot of power. You can make one with a small power supply and it shouldn't consume much when mostly idle.
@Cavi587 the size of power supply is not what determines power draw, it is the power rating of the components.
For power supply you would just want it to be a reasonable standard of efficiency.
Thanks...very informative contents. Keep it up.
I completed the creation of a TrueNAS server last night (FreeNAS has been replaced). I tried to install the application on a RAID1 boot drive (2x120gb drives) and it failed twice. It does not like a RAID1 boot drive, to bad because I really wanted the protection. I removed the raid and installed the application again. This time it worked. I then added a RAID1 8TB pool and shared it. This all works perfectly.
The problem is I cannot add an existing drive, with data, to the machine to be able to copy the data to the new pool. I now have to pull the drives out and attached them to my desktop and transfer the data across (unless somebody knows a way around this).
Overall a good video, very helpful.
Thanks for the primer!
Thanks! Great Information and Video!
Thanks for very easy perceived information.
Thank you, helpful video.
Amazing video. Thank you.
Nice job!!! Subscribed.
I found your explanation the best

Can you use the usb ports for external storage ? Or do you have the SATA connections on the board?
Great Tutorial!!
This helps me a lot. Thanks
Thank you, very well explained
Thank you for a good content! :)
nice video man!!!! i have a question, i want to put my media and my work as a graphic designer on it, but i have to leave it on all the time or i can turn it off?
wow it's a good explanation- My question is how do I make any image or document go straight there instead of keeping it mobile
thank yoooouuuuuuuuuuu so much it was so esy and helpful.
Helped me loads thanks
Nice tutorial. Thanks.
wow, nice tutorial!
Excellent information
Good Job, Thank you for Sharing
My old school: *Has 20 desktops laying around*
Also school: *Proceeds to replace them all with chromebooks*
Me: *Is glad I graduated a year later*
God ikr I think it’s cause chromebooks are passively cooled so they heat up faster causing it to slow down to prevent overheating
@@EyesOnlyTeam86 what exactly do we mean by RAID2?
Honestly, I'd rather use a Chromebook than a school computer. Chrome OS is so light that it runs a lot better on really cheap hardware so you are probably gonna have a better experience on the Chromebook than the school computer running Windows.
@@drabberfrog They're quite limited and terrible. No photoshop, no specialty programs for different classes. Internet goes down? Then no computing for you. Just chrome. I'd rather carry a Raspberry Pi 400 and a cell phone battery around with the quaint 7" display. and the Pi mouse.
@@imperiumcommentingnetwork4677 but at my school at least, there's no way those windows laptops or all in one's could run Photoshop they take long enough to even boot and open Chrome. The only decent school computers in the entire school are in the computer classroom because they are used to run actual applications like Photoshop.
awesome video! thank you!
Thank you so much!
hi there. you did a video about installing synology , right? Where can i find this? I can't find it on your channel. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.
Interesting. It appears that the end result of this exercise is an NTSF-formatted directory accessible from the local area network. I can do this same by installing a vanilla-flavored Linux system and invoking a few simple shell commands.
What do I gain with "freeNAS" (and all those dashboards and dialogs) that makes it better than simple Linux? I ask because I don't see any of the things I usually associate with NAS -- RAID configuration, backup, etc.
Excellent Tutorial :-)
Great lesson.
Thanks for the content
Groups are for resources not users. For example a group called modem used to be used to control which users where allowed to access the modem. Likewise, I used to have a group called software which were users allowed to install files into /use/local for other users to access. I actually went further and created accounts for each software package who were all members of the group software so that all files installed by that "package" could be easily identified by their userid. Using groups to group users instead of identifying resources is the most common mistake in Unix. administration.
Thanks! Although it's not intuitive, I see what you mean. But say, Legal docs or say, household inventory would then each be considered a "group", is that correct? Then each group would have permissions for specific users? Am I right? Thanks!
Also, I have noticed during Windows network set up that there is a choice to make a home network a group. I think its called "home Group". Not sure - but should the same rules apply to windows networks?
Good video. Thanks!
NICE TUTORIAL
Hi...I have been just recently hearing about NAS. Thanks for your video. I don't understand everything still. Would it be possible to save to the NAS from any device and also via wifi from any where? Thanks again.
Thanks for this great video sir. I would like to ask, how would I be able to access it thru a mobile phone or tablet easily?
I like it, but I wanna know if a very old pc can work as freenas, 'cause I use it to watch videos (movies) in my home.
Thank you so much for helping me
Informative 👍
TY for the very short and informative introduction to FreeNAS. Can I access this over the internet when this was installed at home? can you give some tips or tutorial again on how to do that? TY very much in advance Torogi Pro.
Thanks for knowledge
Is it possible to access the network storage with Windows and/or Mac with the config you have done in the video?
Thanks! :)
Nice channel content too.
Great tutorial! Do you have a pro vs con list of going with FreeNas vs. Linux distro vs. Win10?
@Torogi : Hi, Thanks a lot for making a tutorial on NAS. I have a doubt. Can we share the files within the city or country limits?? or only it will work with a local network??. basically i am looking for cheepest solution for working from home people. so that we can access and share the files and work from our homes.
Good video thanks for making it.
I do have a question for you.
How would a person add a sata card and its drivers for more storage?
I use 2pcs 500 gb hdd with both 4% health use 1 as the o.s and 1 for storage and amd a4 6400 4gb ram it succeeded thanks a lot i will do this at home im at work now 😅
Nice one.. Thanks
