I went with one of the cheaper Synology DiskStation a couple of years ago. I primarily use it as a centralized backup and then sync that off-site but it’s also doing a good job of running some security cameras to see what the dogs are up to during the day.

Take a look at the HPE ProLiant MicroServer. There are models with a Celeron, Pentium, Core, or Xeon CPU, onboard RAID, and 4 LFF SATA slots, in a < 10" cube form (DVD drive usually not included).
