#2Title is misleading?
End of the article : There’s close to no information about the software right now, and the hardware is not available yet

#3Do not buy ROCK Pi SATA HAT. I own one, and after few months of lite usage with 4 SSDs, one channel (two SSD connectors) has just died. I just installed OpenMediaVault and configured LVM on 2TB, 2x 1TB and .5 TB SSDs, to use it as a home media server.
I recently tried to initialize warranty process (I bought it directly from shop.allnetchina.cn with shipping to Central Europe) but I got no replay.

#4You can have a lot of fun with Pi's, but I'm not sure I want to build a multi-TB NAS using a Raspberry Pi with a pretty rare addon board..
If you do want something like this, I think the ODROID-HC4[1] is probably a better option.

Or just use USB3 - SATA connectors...

What warranty process? You are in Central Europe. Seller is in China, no distributor in between. Basically you have no rights, buy it cheap and forget. Warranty lol. Best case for you is to open a case with your credit card vendor or PayPal. But you got what you paid for. As I maker in Europe I don’t feel bad about you, because I must sell everything for insane price with included 2 years warranty. While Chinese not.

#7I wouldnt trust my data with this kind of devices. There's nothing wrong per se, but I have my doubts about how easy you can find replacement parts if something breaks in, say, a year or two.
If you really depend on your data and want it to be safe, i'd recommend spending the extra money and either getting a proper nas (synology/qnap) or go the proper diy way (aka an x86 box and truenas/unraid).
you really don't want to be in the position where you absolutely need your data but the replacement parts are two-weeks far in the future because they're travelling via snail mail or worse, relying on 2nd-hand spare parts off ebay.
edit: not to mention, the gigabit ethernet port is a bottleneck. you would probably hitting the bottleneck even by using four rotational disks.

2 disks is pretty limited, is there a 4+ disk version of this?

#10A quick google shows eMMC flash memory for the compute module...do you need to mindfully control writing to flash to keep something like this from nuking the boot device? Could be my choice of storage (whatever $4 buys at Microcenter) but the failure mode on my RPi weather station was SD card death. I'd hate to rely on that for a NAS.
