I don't know much about NAS and thought they were just a bundle of drives with some [media] access related apps on a longer cable ... 40G RAM? What's that for, is it normal for a NAS to be so loaded? I was looking at NAS and people were talking about 1G as being standard (which conversely seemed really low).

G4560 suggests you're not processing much, is the NAS caching a lot?

40G is purely overkill and is not utilized. Initial build had 8G and then I had 32G lying around so I added it.

4G is probably enough. Though nextcloud does use a lot of memory for miniature generation.

As for the G4560, I can stream 1080p with jellyfin so it packs a surprising punch for it's power envelope.
