Installing third-party NAS software
There are many open-source options available, but we tested two popular platforms. TrueNAS Core performed smoothly on the hardware, while ZimaOS distinguished itself as a lightweight NAS management tool with a sleek design and a wide variety of pre-installable apps, including support for mobile apps.
As a pre-installation tip, if you plan to use an NVMe SSD, it is advisable to install the main operating system files on the eMMC chip or to use a second drive. Otherwise, the NVMe may not be recognized for use.
