I would like to make myself a media server and NAS which stores my photoes and files. I have an Optiplex 3070 with a 1 TB Hdd which i plan to use for my media server and want to buy a raspberry pi to use as a NAS for photos and files. What do you think ? will raspberry pi5 be enough, i want something small.
How small? I bought a N100 system from Protectli which I’m happy with. It should work better than a pi according to the specs - but I never tried a pi so I can’t say if it really is. However this is bigger than a pi. I have an old system76 Meerkat, which is much smaller (I think this is the NUC form factor?), but my system is 8 years old and so not really comparable to anything modern, but that is an option.
