I have this same board running freebsd as a NAS. It has been a pretty great experience overall. My main gripe has been that I would really like to be able to run an nvme drive for a cache at the same time as SATA ports, and I haven't found any cost effective PCIE2.0 x4 switches that I could use for that purpose. There is an x1 switch for use with RP4, but it is a shame to lose all the bandwidth.
I'm looking forward to someone making a NAS board on the new RK3588 since that has enough connectivity for everything I want.
