You could consider TV-464 as budget option or if possible then i5 based TS-674.
In terms of disk layout, it's essential to consider your specific workload requirements and storage capacity needs. For your ISCSI target, I would recommend using RAID 10 with NVMe SSDs, as this provides the best balance of performance and redundancy. You could also consider using a small cache pool of NVMe SSDs to accelerate your ISCSI target further.
For your CIFS storage, you could use a combination of NVMe SSDs and SATA HDDs. One option could be to use RAID 5 with SATA HDDs for your backups, and RAID 6 with NVMe SSDs for your active data. Another option could be to use a hybrid RAID solution, such as QNAP's Qtier technology, which automatically moves frequently accessed data to the faster NVMe SSDs and less accessed data to the SATA HDDs.
