No data are lost when a hard drive fails

What do you think of FreeNAS?

What is our primary use case?

I use it primarily for backup and for transfer of very large files between Windows and Linux computers on my LAN.

How has it helped my organization?

The ease and reliability of transferring data is a big plus. I use this feature all the time now. Also, the reliability of the backup is reassuring.

What is most valuable?

The fact that no data are lost when a hard drive fails. I have had two of five drives fail at one time, and no data were lost.

What needs improvement?

Make it easier to find out how to fix things when something goes wrong. There is pretty good documentation, but sometimes it is difficult to find the right solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

Three to five years.
