$309 for the 718+ and another $150 for a couple 2TB drives with 256MB cache was over $100 cheaper than trying to do the Xpenology thing on 4 year old hardware and more than that trying to do the same...

The lack of a RAID card/chip can be a good thing, then it's running soft-RAID. It'll use more CPU, but if your HW dies, you just move the disks to another Linux platform, and can access your files....

FreeNAS doesn't run on ARM, so no chance of it being that. There are a number of Linux-based NAS OSs, though, that would seem likely to run fine.

Wonder if it’s possible to install other OS versions on the Emmc chip. If so; might get away with xpenology but I’d think OMV or FreeNAS would be sufficient.

Manufacturer claims Ubuntu and Debian availability at launch. Hopefully, more consumer-friendly distros would follow like it happened with Pi.

First, does it have RAID card, second, software is the key. Third, ARM chip means it is a low end NAS.
