Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS?

Lil Nas X totally sounds like it would be a valid answer here.
Get an old optiplex SFF off Craigslist for $200 and be done with it. Those things last so long, and since it’s commodity hardware you can replace individual components that break for not much money.
I’d argue for something a bit bigger, physically. The Optiplex SFF systems don’t have a whole lot of interior space for hard drives, in fact the 7050 SFF can only handle a single 3.5", a single 2.5", and a single NVME.
I have an older HP Elitedesk 8300 SFF that can handle 3x 3.5" drives, 2x 2.5" drives, and boot from an M.2 NVMe on a PCIE adapter card (I modded the BIOS). But that’s limited to 3rd gen Intel 🫤
Personally I agree. I don’t use the SFF. oP asked for something tiny though.
Right, but asking for 2-4 drive bays…
🤔
A PCI-E expansion board full of M.2 NVME drives might do the trick.
