4 vs 5 for NAS vs Emulator? (lemmy.world)

Currently have Pi4 4GB running emulation station quite well. Thinking of preordering 5 (4 or 8gb depending on advise from here) and getting into the Pi NAS game, should I swap them round or will I be happier with the 5 as the NAS?

Got it. I know people have used the USB SSD for rpi4 too, which is probably fine, but if you want the new quicker route. pcie might be worth getting into... https://www.tomshardware.com/news/hatdrive-m2-hat-for-raspberry-pi-5

A lot of NAS that you buy now have "containers" where you can side load apps like plex or jellyfin for your you videos vs just installing on the main rpi OS.
