Comment on Run a NAS OS on an old Compaq laptop?

While splitting Compute and Storage is nice I think the main takeaway should be having your opnsense/router on it’s own physical hardware.
Having your storage separated won’t stop a Jellyfin interruption if your reboot your compute.
For a NAS solution the cheap way would be a used desktop with at least 4 SATA ports, a Linux distro you’re used to and Cockpit installed.

Oh I definitely want to have a dedicated machine for the opnsense, I was planning that and a small switch as a gift to myself for my birthday. I just wanted to figure out if I could do something with this poor laptop lol.
I’ll keep your NAS setup in mind.
