I don't get this comment. You can use a cheap PC with ryzen and run samba on FreeNas.

It seems to me you are mixing up what 'FreeNas mini' and 'FreeNAS Freebsd-based OS'.

What I'm saying is that the cost of being on a non-standard distro is greater than the benefit the freenas UI provides. Even if you want to run RAID, it's one or two commands with mdadm. FreeBSD and ZFS makes everything more complicated than it needs to be.
