So, yes, a Pi is fully capable as a NAS - but with some caveats. At *BEST* I 
get 50MBs transfer speeds, but it idles around 10MBs most times... 

Theres a couple bottlenecks, tho - it does have gigabit ethernet, but the 
drives are connected via USB-3 - there are many SBCs these days that have SATA 
connections, and IMO they are more apt to be a killer SBC NAS. 

I like the Odroid brand, and some of their newer SBCs use the Rock 35xx 
chipsets, which give the Pi 4 a run for its money...

Just a thought - if I were to run an SBC NAS again, I'd go for a model with 
gigabit ethernet AND SATA drive connections.
