 @eb948c00 @f3c33fcb Synology is certainly easiest for plug & play, but as mentioned it does come with a price point.

Alternatively a 2nd hand mac mini (or maybe an old laptop) with external drives as needed, running something like TrueNAS Core is an effective, flexible, and similarly low power solution.

If you have the budget and just need the problem to go away, the Synology option is still likely the option you want.
