Could you provide some details? The USB-adapted ethernet & lack of wifi sounds limiting for a NAS.

Not OP but... If I would guess hes using OpenMediaVault? It works rather well on even gen 1 pi's.

It might work "well" as long as you don't need a lot of capacity, nor do you care about the fact that everything is running at < 30MB/sec.

The existing rpi lines are seriously IO bandwidth constrained in every manner. The USB3 on the 4 hopefully fixes some of this. Bottom line, unless you don't mind your photo's taking minutes to copy, your going to be much better off with pretty much anything else besides a rpi3 as a file server.
