How small is small for you?
And do you need RAID, or just storage, and if so, how much?
For example, an ASRock 4X4 BOX-R1000V will run Debian Stable
nicely. It's very small. It's very quiet -- one CPU fan, nothing
else. But because it is so small, it only has room for one M.2
drive and one 2.5" SATA3 drive. If you need more storage, it
will have to be via USB3, which I do not really recommend.
(US $250 plus memory and disk).
