This is why I stated that the important part is sizing the machine for your use case. I use my NAS as far more than just a storage server, it also runs a couple VMs and about 20 docker containers all the time. Plus I've also got my Windows VM that I boot up for the few programs I use that don't have a Linux equivalent (which is also the only time the P4000 is working). That is much more different than comparing to just cloud storage.
