I would generally recommend the TrueNAS scale, but you don't seem to need it

Are you using the same machine for your media storage?
I would say Unraid. For the home user it's easily the most flexible, has a great hypervisor for VM's as well as an excellent container manager, an absurd amount of 'one click install' community apps, while being GUI based and easy to use and offering features like array expansion on a single disk.
TrueNas core.
Try Nethserver
Why not proxmox?
- CasaOs
- Cosmos-server
Or proxmox and then you can run one or the other or both virtually.
I’ve really been looking into unRAID lately. I think I like how it handles RAIDs/Arrays better than TrueNAS or just plain old Linux distros. And Docker seems very easily configurable and manageable. I’d take a glance at that.
If everything will work in containers, I really like openmediavault. Been on that for 3 years.
I just installed Proxmox on a T430 and it's been working well so far. Have Truenas Scale running within Proxmox and my 4 storage drives passed through to it for file sharing, and also have a few other containers for various services/applications.
Proxmox
I dont have input on your question. As someone owning a Samsung 870 QVO I can strongly recommend not buying it, though. Get EVO or something else. The sustained write on my QVO is abysmal.
