You're planning to build a home media server using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as a NAS. You're considering a Western Digital 4TB portable hard drive for storage, which seems like a solid starting point given its capacity. I'd like to clarify a few points: is the Pi compatible with Linux? Will it have sufficient USB power to handle the workload? And does the drive itself support long-term, infrequent random access typical of a home NAS setup? If these aren't ideal options, or if you need more suggestions, just let me know.
