I used a Raspberry Pi zero with usb-to-ethernet adapter and usb-to-ssd converter, found transfer rates to be slow. Being RPi zero uses the same usb bus, this most likely is the cause of being slow. I used it as a git server for u-boot and Linux source code for Yocto builds Then moved it to a beaglebone black with wired ethernet and usb-to-ssd converter, was much happier. So it comes down to what kind of bandwidth you need. Don't recall the exact number, but I think beaglebone black will draw about 3x or 4x of power (pi zero < 100ma, bbb > 350ma) idle state That's my experience, hope it helps
