  • Yeah, and there are plenty for $100-150 with lower specs that might be suitable. I haven’t cracked mine open yet, but there’s a data connector that they advertise for a 2.5" ssd, as well as an included m.2 ssd. But even if you just got a usb-c drive enclosure it would be faster than a pi.

    Pis are great for small applications, so if your goal is just to have drive failure tolerance, it would work. If you want to run something like plex off of the data there you’ll have a bad time.

    Personally, I’d just buy a synology 2-3 drive box and call it good. I love my 5x5 setup, and a lot of my local services run off it in docker containers.
