I'm wondering what the differences are between these two OSs.
I recognize that OI has updated ZFS versions, but apart from this, what are the real differences between the two? I've been on FreeNAS for the past 2 years and I have had next to no problems at all; however, I noticed that OI is highly regarded in this forum... why?

Thanks for input! :)
 
The next version of FreeNAS will bump the ZFS version to be same as OI, but for me the difference is COMSTAR on Solaris/OI.

If you don't care much about block access, FreeNAS is great and easier to use.

BTW. I prefer CIFS on Solaris/OI, it's faster and has better integration with AD.
