I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.
So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

I’m working on putting together an unRAID NAS for media acquisition and storage right now. My initial plan was to use trueNAS scale, but from my research it’s a lot less tolerant about adding drives to your array whenever you want, and I didn’t want to drop a zillion dollars in HD space straight off the bat.
So far docker containers work well on it, and are relatively easy to configure. I’m planning to still leave my home assistant and associated docker containers on the orangepi where they live now though.
