If power / noise is a concern then look at the small form factor PC options on eBay.
Some of these will take two or three drives if you remove the CD / DVD drive and can handle a fair number of tasks if memory is increased.
I've been using my old Mac mini (late 2012) under Debian and Docker - maxed it out to two drives and 16GB - these pop up for £40 - £50 now and then and about take as much power in idle as my Pi boards but way more CPU abilities when running.
