I have an older Synology NAS, it's really slow, and TBH need more compute for a few things at home... but don't want to spend on yet another box for this. The main role of the new server is NAS stuff, but if I can do a few other things in the background, so much the better. I'll be running proxmox and VMs off of an nvme drive in a 4x pcie adapter, and the NAS drives using the hotswap bays in the front.. it's a used R710 (iirc), and has 6 3.5" bays (came with 2TB drives, but replacing the raid controller with one that will support larger drives and upgrading to 8TB as time/cost permits). I could totally drop the home server compute requirement before the NAS requirement as my desktop could handle those chores.
