Yes, a NAS will do.  I assume that you will put disks in the NAS (instead of SSDs)
so it is recommended to configure Squid to use the SSDs for small objects and
the NAS for large objects since disks more efficient in servicing larger objects
than small objects.

Since you have 300 mbit traffic and internal SSDs, a 1 gbit port for the
NAS is sufficient, so 10 gbit is not required.
Depending on the current config you might need to use a separate NIC
for the NAS.

Make sure that the NAS that you will buy is compatible with your system
since the link to the specs that you sent earlier is to a Windows-only
NAS.
