Yes a rpi can run software raid with mdadm. In this case I would use a rpi4b with USB3 and USB to SATA adapter but be aware that the rpi is at the moment not fully supportet by debian (https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/issues/43). If raspian is good enough for your needs it would be an option. With the restrictions I explained before.
If you are loking for a ARM NAS have a look at https://kobol.io/ it has SATA ports.
I have a old QNAP TS-219P II NAS but if I would build a new one I would looking for a bord with Atom CPU or somethink like that to minimize the energy costs.
