Another option is to get a used office PC with an 8th gen+ Intel CPU may suit your needs. Those can be had for super cheap.
If you have parts lying around, you could build a new-ish spec PC and save a buck with parts you have. Get a case with a bunch of drive bays and DIY a NAS. That way you aren't anchored to the NAS company hoping they grace you with software updates for however long you keep the NAS.
