![]() Sleep and wake-on-lan probably won't work. These old machines suck power like crazy (120W+ at idle). You will be happier with a recent i3 for FreeNAS, though. It can be fun to play with these old beasts, so by all means tinker. ![]() I have an old MacPro that I am still very fond of. Only the 20 Pros have the 32-bit EFI that FreeBSD/FreeNAS doesn't support.

The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. ![]() I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build.
