    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    First of all thanks for the overwhelming information and effort! On reading carefully your post, ESX pass-through to the HDDs would have been nice. The HDDs are Samsungs F4s from memory (I do not have remote access). One other reason for the whole drastic move to a different OS was that I am...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    My setup is as follow: Some Pentium 4 I think 3 GB RAM 1 x 80GB (OS Drive) 4 x 2TB (ZFS Pool) FreeNAS 7.3 RAID Z (5) ZFS serving as one SMB share 90% media (.avi/mkv/etc) and rest individual workstation backups (docs, pics) Redundancy is important as I do not want to loose the data. Though...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    Thanks for the clear up Sean. I know I asked this earlier on, but what is your take on having Windows (2012) + FlexRAID/Drive Bender/SnapRAID/etc. configuration? My concern is the utility integrating nicely with the underlying OS. Also as some of the these tools out there are fairly new, my...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    I agree that VPN/owncloud should be segregated from NAS activities, but I am not wanting to fork out any cash on anything to be honest... I think because of this, still being beta I will probably do a straight upgrade to NAS4free and take advantage of the new features from that upgrade...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    Well what I have been wanting to do without having an additional server is running a VPN, owncloud, VM Host... As the usage on my NAS is not even measurable is that low, why not use it for other purposes?

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    Interesting stuff guys! My current setup is FreeNAS installed on a 80GB hdd and then 4x2TB make up a RAID-Z. 99% of the storage use is read-only and I do have to admit, in 2 years since the FreeNAS server has been running non-stop, I had to hard shutdown twice, both times kernel panic kicked...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    One of the drives behind the move to Server 2012 is the potential to use it for multiple purposes. VPN, monitoring, etc. Also I have to spend some time every few months to upgrade sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato, time which I don't really have. :( I have been doing a little bit of reading...

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    Thanks for the reply tycoonbob. Fortunately there isn't too much data, so I can back it up and restore it. I've just come across Windows Storage Server 2012 and wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

    Migrating from FreeNAS to Windows Server 2012 Storage Spaces

    For the last two years I have been running a FreeNAS 6TB RAID5 ZFS server. Recently it has come to my attention the Storage Spaces feature in Windows Server 2012 which got me intrigued... Is my understanding that you cannot simply re-attach the ZFS pool to Server 2012 Storage Spaces...
