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.

    I’ve seen some mini PCs by GMKTech that are small form factor and can be reasonable priced. Anyone have experience with those? I’m in a similar position to OP.

      I’m not at my house until next week but I have a Minisforum mini PC running portainer with all my media applications running through that and only use the NAS as pure network storage. I can try to answer any questions you have.
