I'm considering using something like a Raspberry Pi when the current HP Microserver dies, but I'm not sure it will be a lot cheaper to run, given that it will need external hard drives and an external Ethernet port.
Depending on why you feel you'd need an external Ethernet port, the Pi 4 might address that issue for you (it's no longer wired over the USB bus)
I'm reminded that I have never properly measured the power consumption of my always-on NAS: I built it to be low power and I've connected it via a watt-meter but I haven't ever read the manual for how to use the meter (or looked at its display).
