What's a good solution for a small NAS? (lemmings.world)

I'm looking to offload all my media from my main PC and make it accessible to other devices in my house. It's likely to only be a few TB, probably 2 drives at most.

I've been trying to find a low-power solution since it will be running all the time. I do have a PoE switch, so it would be a bonus if it can run off PoE but not a requirement. I've been checking out a lot of the SBC's that have become popular over the past couple years, but even the budget ones have gotten pretty expensive.

What are some good options?

It's just for using as shared storage between several devices. Just receive files from whichever device I'm using, and serve them later to another device. Basically to replace having to use an external drive and swapping it between devices.
