  Do you think a pi 3b would be enough for this?

  I have two spare low performance 4TB drives I was thinking to use for this. It’s not quite enough though. Would be ideal to find a way to be able to have someone there easily add a drive when needed 🤔

    The 3b just has USB 2, so even with slow spinning rust, that’s going to be a bottleneck. I don’t know your exact use case, but it’s probably still plenty fast as a remote storage device.

      Hmm good point on it being usb2. I would only occasionally power it on to sync, and the sync could be 50Mb or 20Gb, but even then I think that should be ok.
