FreeNAS is still in beta, It will proably be several months before it will be solid. It is a usable NAS. I'm more interested in the Raid 5 via software, and hardware.

Currently DHCP is not supported, need to assign NIC card first, reboots, then can set IP. From there on you can use the web interface. setup takes about 5 min.

The FreeNAS allows drive to spin down after a set time, power managment, and acustics too. Support for storage > 2 tb, iSCSI, NTSF, FAT32, Apple 3.0, down load the 0.65 version the earlier verion have some major problems.

It' can be install on a single drive just like the 1X00's
