   Last one I bought was basically a Celeron. Worked fine for a

   The ARM-v7 series are 32-bitters, probably a rough equiv of yer basic

   In short you don't need an i9 for an NAS. The I/O waits suck up
   everything. Much of anything above yer Celeron or A7 is a waste of
   CPU.

I agree for now, but that's going to change once people attach faster
and faster lans to NAS' -- and they start working with drives
faster than SATA III.
