I still don't see a RPI as useful as a nas. Especially with how cheap mini pc's are now.

From the post:

>I currently run an Ampere Arm server in my rack with Linux and ZFS as my primary storage server, and a Raspberry Pi with four SATA SSDs and ZFS as backup replica in my studio. My configuration for these Arm NASes is up on GitHub. I've been looking forward to TrueNAS support on Arm for years, though it seems the sentiment in that community was 'Arm servers aren't powerful enough to run serious storage servers'—despite myself and many others doing so for many years... but that's besides the point.

There is no good reason you would want a Pi to be a NAS. I appreciate the effort and all, but just get a real computer for that. Keep your lane, Pi.
