Advice needed for setting up my first NAS (lemm.ee)

I've recently gotten into homelabs I've got a Mini-PC running Immich and Home-Assistant

I'd like to setup a NAS for the Immich server to save media to.

I'm very new to the game and only recently started looking into this.

One requirement for me is it must be Open-Source. TrueNAS?

What hardware would you recommend? Having 2TB for now with the ability to expand it would be great, a small size would also be ideal.

I'm pretty happy with my Ubuntu, docker, and ZFS with Sanoid/Syncoid server. Nothing against NAS focused distros, I just haven't come across a compelling enough reason to switch.

For hardware, I use a Odroid H4+. Intel N97, 4 SATA ports, Intel quick sync, and low power. It's running my 20ish docker containers with plenty of power to spare. It's been great
