Okay let’s try installing from a CD burner and I’ll install it onto a spare 320GB drive
It’s either the flashdrives or freenas, but something isn’t right
I even reanabled the cores and overclocked the 6300 to 3.8ghz

From a quick Reddit. It looks like… at least according to people the password is freenas and the user is root

Yeah I figured that one out but then it wouldn’t update so I rebooted and after 5 minutes it wouldn’t shut off I manually did and after 25 minutes it didn’t finish rebooting
So I’ve about had it with freenas or this flashdrive

I had a similar reboot experience back when I was doing the BSD challenge with Dragonflybsd. Everything was fine till I rebooted. 
What is on the screen? Any text or anything? If you hit any of the F keys does text appear? It’s been a while since I did anything Unix. Lol.

It was probably rebooting just taking forever like everything else

Okay I’ve successfully updated to 11.2
So I’m guessing raidz 1-3 is how much redundancy the parity has like 1 is 1 drive failure while 3 is 3 drive failure?

Correct
Make a user account (root won’t work).

So I just make a user account and leave guest access off?

Yeah, create the user and make that user the owner (permissions are set in storage tab).

yeah, if it doesn’t work, check Microsoft account. I usually configure for AFP/Mac environment, so I don’t remember if that’s necessary, but Samba generally uses a separate user database from the system so that may be what that’s referring to.

Additionally, you will want to:
-
Add your email address to the root account
-
Configure System > Email for notifications
-
Enable SMART under Services
-
Add weekly long tests and daily short tests for all drives in Tasks > SMART
-
Add scrub to Tasks > Scrub if not already there by default (monthly is fine)
-
Add periodic snapshot task for your share under Tasks > Periodic Snapshot
-
Enable Services > Netdata (optional, you will get more email alerts)

Show us the share config, and permissions. Ensure SMB is on under Services.

Check default permissions on the share.
Under settings for the GigaStorage dataset, go to Edit Permissions. Make sure your user is the owner.
Yeah, if that doesn’t work, try checking Microsoft Account for the user.
And I’m sure you know this, but in Windows, I believe you connect by:
\\192.168.0.11\GigaStorage
