Aren’t most NASes ARM-based? While they don’t usually support NVMe, they do support SATA SSDs (which would max out at the same speed the Pi’s single-PCIe-lane NVMe gets you.)
Usually NASes are thought of as not too power efficient; but that’s because of the HDDs in them. Remove the spinning rust, remove the problem.
- btgeekboy 6y agoAgree. Lots of Synology/QNAP devices out there that are designed to be a NAS in form factor but also support things like VMs, containers, and the like. Some of them even do support NVM.
- Wohlf 6y agoDepends, most I've seen are low power Intel but the power consumption should be roughly the same.
- geerlingguy 6y agoI've been testing an Asustor (latest gen) vs Pi NAS and all-in they use almost identical power at idle and at full tilt (drives included). Surprised me since the NAS is running an Intel processor.
