Edit: Unlike crap Synology sells atleast TerraMaster has put 10Gbps NIC on almost all the NAS which is a massive plus.
It still hits 7 Gbps+ though.
There's a third-party Jellyfin add-on.

Great thing is they allow users to put custom OS on them easily, so I have been using Proxmox and Samba/Jellyfin/Torrent without any issues.
The F6-424 Max and F4-424 Max use the same Intel 12th Gen i5-1235U chip as the UGreen DXP8800 Plus (and DXP6800 Pro and DXP480T Plus). The TerraMaster T9-500 Pro, T12-500 Pro, U8-500 Plus and U12-500 Plus use the presumably more robust i7-1255U though. TOS 6 is likely considerably more mature then UGreen UGOS Pro but BYO OS can still apply to either Manufacture’s products.
Those prices are probably what the market will bear and relatively competitive. However, my 8 bay DXP8800 Plus was under ~$1000 USD at Kickstarter prices and the similarly spec' F6-424 Max with two fewer bays starts at about ~$1000 USD. I guess I lucked out.
Also more commercial solutions using BTRFS over ZFS, I still never fully understood the need to create a clone of ZFS.
