Just from a glance at the specs I would say it might be limited. Only 512MB of ram is pretty small. Even if it claims decent transfer rates once you have raid and processing the transfer it will probably be much slower, especially with 4K. I’m not too familiar with the Marvell processor compared to Intel but chances are it is less powerful too. Obviously you don’t need processing for transcoding but it could affect other things. Also would 12TB be enough? Not sure why 3TB drives is max but you might consider something that could take 8-10TB drives.
The ram is definitely a bottle neck. It’s be good for file shooting and backups but I wouldn’t bet any money on performance. I’d go with with synology or qnap.
I have 4 of these with 4x4TB NAS drives installed.
(Clearly 12TB is not the max size. I believe the max supported drives are 4TB but people have used larger drives from what I’ve read. There’s one on EBay now with 3x8TB drives installed.)
They work perfectly so I was glad to have found them cheap.
They are very basic but can be found very cheap. I have around 250 UHD backups on one of them and haven’t had any trouble watching them. I could post the speeds as infuse has a way to see that and I’ve done that but I didn’t write the stuff down.
