Since the eMMC is soldered somewhere and too small for TrueNAS anyway, I purchased two smallish WD Black NVMe SSDs and installed TrueNAS on these. Just enter BIOS, boot from a USB stick containing the TrueNAS iso made with balena etcher and install away. Worked like a charm. And the HW is happy with two 16GB DDR4 3200 SO-DIMMs.

I am very interested in this QNAP box and for those of you that elected to install TrueNas on it instead of using QNAP’s latest OS…what were the reasons you chose TrueNAS? Sounds like it’s pretty painless and it sounds like this box could easily support ProxMox as well instead of TrueNAS? Does virtualization work on it under TrueNAS?
