i'd like to challenge that. raspberry pi's are anything BUT a good
fileservers. for one, it has no sata nor pcie slot for nvme.
so you'r limited to usb.
the only raspberry pi with a not completely useless usb implementation
is the pi4 (also the only model that has a built in ethernet mac instead
of some horrible usb contraption).
the raspberry pi is a machine with lots of compromises.
really, it is a graphics card with a arm processor on the side.
and imho it is not really worth it spending alot of money working around
its limitations with adding expensive external gadgets that will add up
to more than the machine itself.
especially usb disk adapters can cause you problems...
the pi4 can be a good *diskless* terminal (if you do not need audio) ...
or a diskless cpu server to run some light server tasks and you want
to save some power compared to a full pc.
