Met Freenas kan een computer die aangesloten is op het aanwezige netwerk, gebruikt worden voor uitsluitend dataopslag, ook wel Network Attached Storage geheten. Het geheel is gebaseerd op een uitgeklede Freebsd-installatie en voorzien van een overzichtelijke webinterface. Het pakket neemt standaard niet meer dan 32MB ruimte in beslag en kan dus met gemak op een cf-kaart, de harde schijf of een usb-stick worden geïnstalleerd. Ondersteuning is aanwezig voor cifs (Samba), ftp, nfs, rsync, ssh, local user authentication en software raid 0, 1 en 5. De ontwikkelaars hebben de eerste release candidate van versie 0.69 op de wereld gezet met de volgende lijst van aanpassingen:
Version 0.69RC1 (Salusa Secundus)
Please note, due adding many new features which have blown up the image size of FreeNAS it is not possible to upgrade to the latest 0.69RC1 from versions < 0.69b4 if you have choosen the embedded OS/DATA installation mode. In this case you have to backup your data from the DATA partition and do a fresh installation.
