So more like a commercial NAS box and less like a repurposed Dell server.

Why?

Power consumption.
Plus, I don’t think an enterprise grade server is designed to spin down the disks when they’re not in use.

You can just do that yourself regardless of what the server was intended to do, with a cronjob for example. You can also set an idle time after which it spins down with hdparm but that doesn’t always work for different reasons.
