Mine is the F4-210.
I probably could, but frankly it's not worth the effort when my pi is already set up the way I like, and is more powerful. I don't see the advantage of trying to hack the nas into shape when its hardware is atrocious anyway.
It has 1GB of non-upgradeable ram and the CPU scores 131 on geekbench: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/20874021
My pi has 8GB of ram and scores 1018 on geekbench, and cost half as much (~£90-100 vs £189.99). https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/11626981 (so 7.7x, not quite 10x, but still an insane gap)
What do you find is the advantage of the nas if it's outperformed by the cheaper pi?
That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.
Like you said, sketchy OS, that is probably less performant than Linux and may not get proper security updates.
