The Pi 4's Ethernet is pci-e now, and its USB3 ports are as well. The USB2 ports are still terribly inefficient.
About 8 years ago, I switched my home server from a pi to an Intel baytrail based system. I put it all together myself in a cube shaped case. It is passively cooled and runs off a 12V 2A power brick. I filled the space for the PSU with two 3.5" hard drive hot swap bays. I keep one drive in and synchronized to my desktop over the network, and pop another one in when it's time to make a cold backup. It's served me very well.
