Depends on the use case and size of the NVME drives you're interested in using. For example, a 4TB NVME is in the same price point of a 14 - 16TB WD Red Pro.

I was looking at making a NAS just for my growing collection of BD rips, music photos etc and this caught my interest as I really don't need more than 20TB at this stage. You could start with some cheap 2TB nvme's and wait for the prices of larger ones to drop. Plus I like new toys. |

Gotcha... depending on how you perform your rips, standard BR vs 4k UHD, 1:1 vs compressed, the CPU may not be enough for something like Plex... I'm simply speculating as I don't have any direct experience with them. That being said, since it's all NVME based, as a NAS for file transfers, it should work rather well.
I've seen some folks install Unraid on those devices, not sure how it performs, but I've been running Unraid as the OS for my NAS; close to 8 years now and would highly recommend it to all interested in a DIY type solution over a ready built NAS solution. My NAS runs on a Ryzen 7 5800x, 32GB RAM, 10GB Fiber NIC, dual 1TB SSDs for dockers and VM with 104TB of storage.
