I just got a Mac Mini for this exact use case. Let's be honest, Raspberry Pi is garbage. It's just insanely weak, I regret spending around €100 for mine (Raspberry Pi 4, with case). It's got 32-bit ARM chip, and USB 3 ports that you can't use (I plugged in 2 external HDDs into it, was running a SMB share for Time Machine and Media, they just kept dropping. Apparently something power delivery related, works with USB 2.0 speeds though.)
