FreeNAS - An open source network attached storage OS based on FreeBSD

[anarcotux]

FreeNAS is a free and open-source software network-attached storage (NAS) system based on FreeBSD and the ZFS file system. It is licensed under the terms of the BSD License and runs on commodity 32 and 64-bit x86 hardware. FreeNAS supports Windows, OS X and Unix clients and various virtualization hosts such as XenServer and VMware using the CIFS, AFP, NFS, iSCSI, SSH, rsync and FTP/TFTP protocols. Advanced FreeNAS features include full-disk cryptography and a plug-in architecture for 3rd party software.

I personally prefer the version 8.3.1 compared to 9.1.1 because it works very well on older computers with ram pc100/pc133 and small capacity.
For the data storage hard disk you can choose between ZFS and UFS flle system.
It's perfect to resurrect the old computers!!!
