Running AI on the Netgear ReadyNAS 3312 (RR3312)
It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 5.2 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time. More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.
