Terramaster is the price leader in consumer NAS. I've owned netgear, Synology, and now QNAP. I would say all have been more reliable, and better app support than Terramaster. So you get what you pay for.
You could also get one of the others for storage, and then a ~$125 Intel N100 mini PC to run Plex and any other services.
I put FreeNAS on mine (I think renamed TrueNAS now). It worked until it died about 2 years in and I bought my Synology five years ago, which has received regular and safe updates.
Terramaster customers (on TOS) have had repeated issues with ransomware/malware.
Nevertheless, their cost reflects their qualify.

My 2nd hand Qnap TS238+ is over 10 years old and they still give me security patches for the OS and apps. Thinking I better replace it before it dies though.
These prices are tempting!
If you're a power user, Truenas is a solid OS, but if not, be prepared to spend a few extra $$ on unraid, as the Terramaster OS is borderline bad.
But I had a handful of their 5-Bay DAS units, and the firmware was a disaster. Completely unreliable. Reached out to their "tech support" and received barely legible replies which didn't provide any assistance.
Sold them all on ebay. Surprisingly people snapped them right up, apparently you can sideload your own firmware on it and make it what you need. I didn't have time to play around with it
