The RPi, even the 3, isn't a great choice for networked storage, since the NIC is running over the USB bus. A Beaglebone Black[1] would be similar but have better hardware for the job.

- peatmoss 9y agoMy understanding is that the Beaglebone Black is also... opener. Or at least it seems like the Beaglebone Black is supported by more operating systems. If, for example, you wanted to run OpenBSD or even Minix 3, BBB is the system for you.
