You can pick any hard drive, preferably a NAS/Server Oriented one.
They do have to match if you’re doing a multi drive RAID/ZFS though.
It’s kind of complicated, if you can afford the lifetime price, HexOS has some amazing things going for it as a fork of TrueNAS, but TrueNAS is FOSS and has probably everything you need, if you’re planning on doing Jellyfin, you might wanna stick with TrueNAS Scale.
I presume you acknowledge the risk imposed going through the Custom NAS Route yes?

No?
I already have a QNAP NAS, but intend to switch.
I see, at least you must be familiar with things like best practices 101 (security, maintenance, 3-2-1 rule etc.) yes? If so that’s good enough.

Yes, although the setup was really what took the most time (especially the VPN setup), but I always go through all the settings of each device/app I own.
Maintenance only takes me 5 minutes per week as it’s mostly automated. I presume similar options are available on TRUENAS.
