You can get a truenas but its a little under powered for what it is especially if you want to use it not as a nas. This is the tradeoff for buying a turnkey product in a niche market.
That being said you can just build your own nas. There are nas boards with multiple sata already built in for you as well as cases designed for these sorts of boards and multiple hdds. jonesbo cases are popular for this. at a certain point though it stops making sense to build one of these and starts making sense to rack mount your storage array, of which the options are far more numerous.
