    Any chromebox can be used for this. You can grab one for cheap from businesses that have decommissioned them

        Huh actually yes, I have one with TrueNAS on and have created a couple of Zvol connected over USB. It is not like having a big server but it does the job while using little power

          Interesting. It is not recommended that you use USB drives for ZFS but it sounds like it is working for you.

            Perfect is the enemy of good. TrueNAS has been happy and running non stop for 6 months now
