What would be good specs for small but power-efficient NAS. I want it to be budget friendly, I would probably look for 2nd hand stuff. I plan to use it for media storage (most likely immich) and the arr stack + jellyfin.

Give me suggestions

Probably something 7th gen Intel or newer so you can use Quicksync for transcoding on Jellyfin and HW accel on Immich for ML, face recognition, resizing, etc..

Tons of 7th/8th gen PCs pulled from offices on ebay for around $50-80, if you do some creative mounting inside a Midtower (MT) sized one you can fit a couple 3.5" drives and 2.5" SSDs.
