The requirements you listed elsewhere would make this a cheap and workable alternative. The only issue is that any SATA disks would have to be run through a USB 3 port. Using an SSD might mitigate any lag. I use one of these with a laptop drive in a Geekworm case to be the web server on my LAN. My wife an I have NFS and Samba access to the drive as well. You can run Raspberry Pi OS (a Debian derivative) on it. Matter of fact, I think you can run the various media server packages on such a rig as well. Paul -- Paul M.
