On a somewhat related note, would you trust a Pi based NAS long term? I've not tried doing one since the Pi 4 which understandably because of its hardware limitations left a lot to be desired, but that part aside I was still finding the pi as a piece of hardware somewhat quirky and unpredictable - power especially, I can't count the number of times simply unplugging a usb keyboard would cause it to reboot.

I've run a Pi NAS as my 2nd onsite replica for over a year without a hiccup, it's using a Radxa Penta SATA HAT with 4x SATA SSDs, and a 2.5 Gbps USB dongle for faster Ethernet[1].
