How do you expand the storage to 100+ TB? The web gui is nice to use, what does Windows/Linux or the Mac offer? I’d prefer a Mac option, but I don’t believe there is a good one.

Upside of Mac is good Thunderbolt support. A ThunderBay 8 (or comparable) gives you 8 SATA bays. The baseline Mac Mini supports up to 18 such Thunderbolt bays via chained Thunderbolt. (Can also get nvme thunderbolt drives.)
