Great software, thank you.

I love it. I had freenas7 working for just fine until I got some new hardware & thought raidz2 was what I needed in terms of redundancy. I tried Freenas8 and was really disappointed, so much missing & I had to start learning command line code to get basic stuff done. Then I learnt of Nas4Free, the real continuation of the freenas project & it had raidz2 support now too. Been rock solid since the day I installed. I was so happy to find Nas4Free.

I got better write performance in NAS4Free than in FreeNAS 8.2 (with dd benchmark test).

NAS4Free has been great for me! It does everything I need it to do and more. I also find it easily customizable when adding new "features" as working with the code and easily understandable and clear. I was a huge fan of FreeNAS 0.7 legacy and used it up until it was continuted by NAS4Free. I love the webgui and how clean it is as well as easy to navigate. I hight suggest NAS4Free, as it is a must for me. Give NAS4Free a shot and I bet you will never look back!

I find Nas4Free even more stable than FreeNAS - which I have used for years but am switching over to Nas4Free because the development under Nas4Free is so much better than it was under FreeNAS and peoples questions are answered quickly and politely My system is only small (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, E6600 cpu, 8 gb ram) so FreeNAS's requirements are simply too high for what I want. I run Nas4Free in a VM so on my system tying up between 6 - 8 gb in a single VM client is simply too much Nas4Free is great - it gives me all the functionality of FreeeNAS 7 and it's more up to date and will continue to be supported going forward. Nas4Free is perfect for those FreeNAS have left behind William Grzybowski - you say you don't like it and that you switch to FreeNas - interesting since you contribute to FreeNAS as a developer - talk about a conflict of interest John Hixson who is also a contributor to FreeNAS (another conflict of interest perhaps?) gives reasons at least for not liking Nas4Free at least
