  I probably could, but frankly it’s not worth the effort when my pi is already set up the way I like, and is more powerful. I don’t see the advantage of trying to hack the nas into shape when its hardware is atrocious anyway.

  It has 1GB of ram and the CPU scores 131 on geekbench: browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/20874021

  My pi has 8GB of ram and scores 1018 on geekbench, and cost half as much (~£90-100 vs I think ~£180-190).

  What do you find is the advantage of the nas if it’s outperformed by the cheaper pi?

  I have one, but I feel pretty burned by them since the model I bought was immediately outdated because the next hardware version after mine was a new cpu arcitechure, and the new software updates don’t support the old architecture. I think they moved from arm to x86 or something like that. So I’m stuck with old software that’s no longer supported, only a year or two after I bought the up to date model.

  And, yeah, as the other commenter noted, it does feel quite like you’re using knock-off software. Remoting into it doesn’t really fill me with confidence. Maybe it’s fine but it just looks/feels like the cheap and shitty version of something more reputable. So, since I have a pi anyway I’m considering just moving all my NAS/plex data to an external drive attached to my pi.
