> I was thinking maybe some small thinkcenter or dell micro PCs + a NAS (Thinking QNAP because they are cheaper). Lower TDP would be great too. Power costs are a concern. Thinking about Nextcloud, plex, jellyfin, home assistant, local backups, etc... My use cases are similar to yours, and I recently "upgraded" from an 8-bay QNAP NAS filled with 4TB drives (RAID 6) to a 2-bay QNAP NAS (TS-233) with very large hard drives (RAID 1). The TS-262 and TS-264 have some interesting upgrades over that base model.
