My NAS has Pentium J 4-core and is way under 7W idle, inside some small Fractal case with 6x20TB HDD. Why would you need 12th/13th gen for file transfers?

For encoding maybe? OP says “reasonable CPU performance for compression” and also it was a CPU they already had from a desktop build.

Interesting I assume it's with all drives off, how many Watts with some disk usage?

Each drive adds around 7W non-idle.
