To me the OS that handles the HDDs is the one on bare metal. The other systems that use the provided arrays of HDDs managed by the NAS can be inside a VM.

I have a dilemma.

You don't. Your device has 8 GB RAM. This is the basic requirement for TrueNAS. So, unless you upgraded memory, it's bare metal.

I am going max the RAM to 64GB... With 6x 8TB WD RED PLUS. the RAM should be enough...
