I just picked up a used PC Ryzen 2200G with 4 4tb red drives. My plan is to use this as a backup to my mini server. I am thinking of going with Rockstar or Open media vault. The system only has 8 GB of ram so I think Truenas w/ZFS is not going to work. I'm looking for input as to which OS would be good. I would also like the disk to be independent of each other, So in case of a total hardware failure I can pop the drives out and read them in almost any Linux OS. Any thought on which OS to use.

Basic TrueNAS functions should work fine with 8gb. Can the ram on the system be upgraded? 16gb should run just about anything.
