8 to 10 bay rackmount ssd 10gb SFP28

[Enquiries]

Im looking for a 1U rackmount NAS which supports 8 to 10 enterprise SSD's. Ideally it would support a decent CPU/RAM to host VM's but this is optional.
Looking for high performance 10gb or 25gb connectivity using DAC to a Ubiquiti switch.
I was thinking about a HP or Dell server but not familiar with building a NAS environment on top of a server. Probably better off with an "official" NAS unit with software designed to operate on it.
It will be used to house VM's, snapshots and host backups. Budget is fairly open.
Im not up to speed on benefits of ZFS vs Raid. It's my impression that ZFS requires robust power due to possible lost of data in RAM vs HW Raid which has battery to flush cache.
Im also interested in finding out about the benefits of NVME cache or possibly 2-tier storage options.
