Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

BTW OP: when you get this set up, please run some benchmarks and tell this community how it performs. I've had a free PM1633A sitting on my desk for 1.5 years, just because I haven't gotten around to it. I'm keen to know how it behaves.
Sure, I would love too. Do you know what software to run in Windows to provide good results? I can temporarily attach it to my linux machine if necessary
I'm afraid I don't have much experience with benchmarking in Windows. I think I've seen CrystalDiskMark mentioned in a few places, and it's FOSS under MIT License.
Cool, I will give it a try. I may install it to my linux machine and access over samba. I need to test if game installs will work over network like this first
