Hi Zsolt, for an all-NVMe setup that allows full use of your WD Red SN700 drives as primary storage in RAID 5, your best options are currently the QNAP TBS-h574TX and the UGREEN DXP480T Plus. Both support NVMe drives as main storage rather than cache, which is still uncommon among NAS systems.
The QNAP TBS-h574TX has five NVMe slots, supports ZFS RAID 5, and includes both 10GbE and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, giving you very high transfer speeds and flexible expansion later. It’s ideal for your virtualization and Docker workloads but tends to cost more.
The UGREEN DXP480T Plus is cheaper and also supports NVMe primary pools through UGOS Pro, but it only has four NVMe slots and 2.5GbE networking. You could start with this model and expand storage later using a Thunderbolt or USB4 expansion chassis if you need five drives total.
If you want to keep costs low while maintaining flexibility, the UGREEN is the most affordable route. If you want the most robust and future-proof option, the QNAP TBS-h574TX remains the strongest pick.
