Is there any NAS OS that supports:

-Easy drive expansion (adding more disks later)

-Mixing different drive sizes (retaining the largest possible usable space)

-Proper Bitrot protection

Seems like three easy and fundamental requirements that nobody (besides Synology, which is terrible for other reasons) currently meets:

-TrueNAS (ZFS): Doesn’t support mixing different drive sizes, vdev types, drive expansion,…..

-Windows Server (ReFS): Performance is broken, but more important Bitrot protection doesn’t work as intended even on the newest version

-Unraid: Doesn’t support bitrot protection

-Synology DSM: Supports everything, but is a walled garden forcing users more and more towards Synology drives, modules, etc… Is currently my main NAS for this reason, but I won’t ever buy a Synology again for my backup NAS

-QNAP: Doesn’t support drive size mixing

Is there anything on the market that supports what I want?
