We are digital librarians.

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

NAS with upgradable RAM for TrueNAS (alien.top)

I'm looking for an off-the-shelf 4 or 6 bay NAS with upgradeable RAM that runs TrueNAS (for ZFS). The QNAP TS-664 looked very nice, but the price of the 4G version (with 2 RAM slots) is currently 25% more than the 8G version (with soldered RAM). I'd like to have 16 or better 32GB of RAM.

Do you have any recommendations?

"very nice" with a 4110 Passmark CPU? Seriously, I mean you get 6000+ in some passively cooled tablets from 5+ years ago. That will do only to use it with the most basic RAID, probably with something like ext4 on top of it and to use it as an appliance. If you want ZFS and to run something else too not just to serve some files you'd better build a half-decent reasonable machine.
