imo truenas because it’s made for storage. It will monitor your drives, it’s easy to expand storage. Want nextcloud? It’s a plugin ready to install. Want plex media server? Just add the plugin. Need backups of your machines? Try the backuppc plugin.
Core is based on frebsd, while scale is Debian. While scale is fun I’m still a core-fan.
Samba on a Debian box works as well if all you want is smb. But it’s a you made it you support it solution. On Truenas there’s loads of people making sure it’s secure and working and updating is a button.
