PsiReaper Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I made the switch to UnRAID last November. Before the switch, I was running and using FreeNAS on an I3. The Xeon (now UnRAID) was my primary PC and it was used for gaming and VMs. The VMs were being hosted on Oracle VirtualBox. I was happy with my setup, but I realize that FreeNAS has some limitations. A friend of my mine has been using UnRAID for over 6 years and he's been happy with it. So I checked out the site and was impressed with what it can do. I was immediately sold on it's ability to host VMs and be a NAS at the same time. Also, the dockers was another plus. Shortly after some testing, I decided to go live with it. I converted my existing Xeon box to the UnRAID box and my new main PC is an I7-4790K. The old FreeNAS box was converted to a pfSense. pfSense was running on an old single core Celeron. Ever since I made the switch, I'ver been very happy with it. Quote Link to comment
