Amazon [amazon.com] has QNAP's TS-233 2-bay home NAS for $155.99. Shipping is free.
I believe this is the cheapest it's ever been.

I also have the photos from my iphone backing up to it. It handles that fine.
I plugged an external USB hard drive into it for backups. That works well.
Just for fun I was able to get Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, qbittorrent, and vpn running on it. The containers ran out of resources/memory and crashed almost daily. So I deleted those and let it just handle file serving.

It would be perfectly fine for hosting and indexing family photos.
If you want to use it as the file storage for Emby it could absolutely handle that.
I have more experience with Plex server but I don't think it would handle that very well. Probably the same with Emby. It is possible to install it, but I think it would skip and lag based on my experience with other apps. https://emby.media/community/inde...ap-ts-233/

but yeah, I wouldn't really recommend it for that. If you're able to direct play everything it might be OK but if you need to transcode or burn subs or whatever, it's probably not going to cut it.
Pair this with one of those cheap N100 mini PCs that are always on sale for < $150 and you'll have a quiet, low-power setup that can handle multiple 4K transcodes without breaking a sweat.
