Is it too i/o intensive? can i use a NAS via NFS? Using NFS seems stabler than using external USB disks in raspberry pi.

Just the initial load of the Blockchain, it's about 600 GB. Later it's just ln gossip and about a block every 10 minutes 🌞
I could do the initial load in better hardware, then just transfer it to the NAS and configure the r-pi to point to it. might work... Is the full blockchain needed? can't i use the feature where bitcoind keeps only the last few blocks? (forgot the name of the feature)
yes that works, I've also copied the Blockchain around several times. Not sure about the "partial BC" feature, it's not recommended cause you can't verify completely.
It's stable with external power supply at the SSD
