Too old and power hungry at this point. Plus the raid controllers of that generation only support up to 2tb.

Aim for at least a T320 or R320.

I use my R320 as a Plex server and it's pretty good. Not as power efficient as something newer, but I got it for free, it has lots of RAM so I can run many VMs as well as Plex, and it supports SAS which made getting several inexpensive 8TB drives going in ZFS nice and easy.
