Its poor form to say that people purchased alternatives, but not list those alternatives (apart from the ransomwared qnap).

I built mine on OpenMediaVault, a quick search shows that Asustor and Terramaster are popular options. What other brands should people consider?

I am currently building a server in a Jonsbo N4 case, it runs Truenas, but I need three more drives to start using it, preferabely five more, ultimately I want five more drives, a PCIe to M.2 card, two NVMe SSDs, an Intel Arc A310 and a 10Gbit NIC.

Then I can test out running apps, transcoding video and transfer files as fast as my network will go.

I've been running TrueNAS since it was called FreeNAS and I've been happy with it.

I bought a Unas case, went overkill with an i7 setup then loaded Xpenology. I’ve got a Synology without their exclusive hardware.
