If you need basic NAS, use ZFS to protect your data. RAIDz2 is good enough for large home storage.
The OpenZFS 2.x Debian packages are excellent nowadays but FreeNAS exists if you need an appliance.
If you have skillz, running a basic Linux server is easier in the long run than trying to map your needs to an appliance.
Please do not sue ZFS on Linux. ZFS is absolutely beautiful, but not on Linux. It has a lot of bugs. Been on zfs for 4 years. Including a system migration. My experience suggests that you're an idiot.
