Hadn't seen those.
Short stuff with lots of drive bays seems a little rare and that was the only one I knew about.
I mostly use 24 or 36 bay supermicro stuff, so it's not my market anyway.
Buy a couple of Intel Optane drives for metadata and slog vdev, you will have better experience with the NAS. They don't have to be big in size. A few hundreds for metadata and 32-64gb for slog should be enough
