## Questions & Answers

**Q: My current nas cannot transcode video so i need a media pc to do it (ie. plex).  are these powerful enough to transcode video?**
A: Yes.  In acceptance tests, 3 simultaneous video transcodes were done to a variety of devices at different resolutions with no loss of quality.

**Q: What is the disk setup?**
A: The FreeNAS Mini 8TB system comes with 4 x 2TB drives.  Your usable capacity will be determined by how you setup the ZFS RAID.  Setting up a RAIDz will provide you with 6TB of usable space.

**Q: What brand and model of disks does it come with?**
A: I ordered 4 drives that were 2TB each, all 4 drives were the same model. I used the following command in FreeNas to find out what model my drives were. smartctl -a /dev/ada0 | grep model   Model Family: Western Digital Red  Device Model: WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0

**Q: Does it works with 220V 50hz?**
A: Yes it does.  It is rated for 100-240 VAC 50/60hz.  Please check the Manufacturer's website for the product specifications at https://www.ixsystems.com/freenas-mini/.  It's a great product and has performed well for me for the past 9 months.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Reliable, Well Engineered, and Easy to Use!
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2018*

I have been using this network attached storage device for about 2 years without any problems.  After two years, a minor problem developed, and the iXsystems support was absolutely superb in furnishing a replacement part quickly and advising how to best replace the part. With their careful advice, I lost absolutely no data!!  This is a well thought-out device, well engineered, easy to use and above all, highly reliable as an important back-up device upon which the user can rely.  Equally important is the superb technical support this company offers—their technicial staff is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with.  It would be hard to find a more reliable or easier to use product, particularly in this price range!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great with stock drives
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021*

This is a great product, but when I upgraded to 10TB disks, I noticed the cooling suffers a lot. You really want the disks inside this thing to run below 40C and not the upper 50 degrees I was getting. I even upgraded the fan to a Noctua and still had the same issues. I am using a desk fan pointed at the front, and I have the case slightly cracked about 2 inches to get below 40C temperatures. You can use a web search engine to check if temps above 40C are what you want for your NAS that probably has your backups.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    outstanding quality and value, great alternative to more traditional server
  

*by Q***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017*

We purchased this to use as a central file server for a small architecture company. It's outstanding! Solid construction, easy to set up (we did hire a programmer to help us, but he didn't have any problems), works great, much less expensive than purchasing a Dell server which we were considering as the alternative, free accompanying software. It's compact, takes little space, doesn't require a server stand or large supporting shelf. Easy and affordable to add storage for active use and for backup. We love it!
