It makes reading your replies a little difficult because it is not visible on first glance where your quote ends and your reply starts. > You do NOT want the Rasp Pi for this.

My raspi runs on bog-standard Raspberry OS (i.e. Debian). I am also evalutating Arch on arm. Both don’t require any compilation or manual maintenance on my part. Just the regular updates via the package manager. > The speed of a NAS is _mostly_ a balance between network speed and disk > speed. Processor usage for me is generally about 20%.

If the NAS is attached via gigabit only, I would bot concern myself with not saturating. Those 117 MB/s is nothing a drive can’t handle in most cases.
