If you want a Pi5 NAS, this looks like a good option:

I don't see a Pi as the ideal NAS.  Yes, it can make one but there are
better solutions.  A Pi has other, better, uses.

My NAS solution is something like a Fujitsu Esprimo Q556 or Q957,
power consumption is similar to a Pi 4 or Pi 5 and it comes in a case
that can accomodate an M2 drive and two 2.5" drives.  The power supply
is in the case with it.  ...and it's still pretty compact.
