NAS Hardware selection (programming.dev)

I want to create a NAS for my family at home. I am already pretty sure about using TrueNAS as software, but the hardware is still open.

What hardware do you recommend for 2TB of usable Storage (+a second drive for mirroring the first one) that is used by 3 people for pictures, videos, and documents?

I agree with using TrueNAS, I currently have a Fujitsu Futro S920 that can host two mirrored SSDs, it is a cheap build if you don't have to host any services, you can found details here: https://pietro.in/en/posts/futro-s920-proxmox/

For more powerful hardware but still staying in a cheap build take a look at an HP 800 G4 mini or a ThinkCentre M910x both can host two NVME disks
