I have always built my own and ran it on the main machine I use for other services (homeassistant, security cams, wind speed monitoring). The canned solutions have less upfront setup but if/when anything goes wrong generally you are on your own, and you don't have any idea how the vendor setup it up, and how old of kernel/tools that they used. A number of NAS uses in that situation have ended up on the mdadm list working through how to recover from the failure and not lose data.
