Instead of using old hardware, another solution could be to invest in a small Raspberry Pi and a USB disk. A year back I created such a NAS solution. Raspberry Pi3 + 1 TB USB disk Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian. Filesharing by NFS. I use it as backup media for my servers. Very cheap to buy, and it all use very little power.
