I would recommend DIYing your own NAS/server, if possible. How much storage are you needing? What's your budget?
I will use the server for photos, videos, backups from my PC via borg and as a media server so i wanted to start with approximately 6TB. Budget without the harddrives is under 500€, currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T as a miniPC for server usage and then some used NAS system from Terramaster. Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn't seem really cheaper compared to buying used/refurbished.
Okay then I will recommend the new Beelink ME mini

And also the "pocket NAS" from CWWK.net
Those are fine but will be less power efficient than the mobile CPUs.
It definitely is. Also most NAS have a very weak CPU. Because a "NAS" really doesn't need one.
