I personally use an old self-built desktop running linux (TrueNAS and Windows also work). Getting a case with lots of drive bays is inexpensive. And it lets you do pretty much whatever you want with the NAS as it's a full blown computer. I always found the prices for the purpose built NAS to be shockingly high.
And the thing is, you can get cases like the Silverstone CS382 for $200 with 8 hot-swap HDD bays, regular mATX mobo and full size PSU and install whatever you want in there. Why be tied down to a proprietary enclosure?
