Hardware Recommendations
Since FreeNAS® 9.10 is based on FreeBSD 10.3, it supports the
same hardware found in the
FreeBSD Hardware Compatibility List.
Supported processors are listed in section
2.1 amd64.
FreeNAS® is only available for 64-bit (also known as amd64)
processors.
FreeNAS® boots from a GPT partition. This means that the
system BIOS must be able to boot using either the legacy BIOS
firmware interface or EFI.
Actual hardware requirements vary depending on the usage of the
FreeNAS® system.
RAM
The best way to get the most out of a FreeNAS system is to install
as much RAM as possible. The minimum recommendation is 8 GB of RAM. The
more RAM, the better the performance.
- To use ZFS deduplication, at least 5 GB of RAM per TB of storage to be deduplicated.
- To use Active Directory with many users, add an additional 2 GB of RAM for winbind’s internal cache.
FreeNAS installation
The FreeNAS operating system is installed to at least one device that
is separate from the storage disks. The device can be a USB stick,
compact flash, or SSD. Technically, it can also be installed onto a
hard drive, but this is discouraged as that drive will then become
unavailable for data storage.
