What are you using for an OS? It seems like our NAS OS options are fewer than they were a decade ago - especially if you want ZFS.

For the 2 NAS I recently set up, one is running TrueNAS Core (last freeBSD) and the other is just minimal FreeBSD.

Arch Linux. It’s an easy default for me, although I’ll probably build the next iteration on FreeBSD with ZFS. I don’t have much faith that btrfs or bcachefs will catch up to ZFS in the next few years.

I'm pretty dang happy with ZFS. It needs some extra RAM but gives a lot in return.
