The best and fastest storage I have on my RPi3 is via WiFi.   I have files
NFS mounted.  I seem to get about 90 Mbps speed.

One advantage of NFS mounted files is the same exact files are accessible
on my iMac or my Linux notebook.  If I need to do something that takes a
lot of I/O I can do that on the Mac and it runs at full speed.  Also with
the files mounted over WiFi the only cable I really need on the Pi3 is
power and the Pi3 files get the same automatic versioned backup and off
site cloud backup

The iMac has a direct gigabit Ethernet connection and the entire pi3 set of
files shows up as a folder on the Mac.

The next step is to boot the Pi3 off the network and have no local files on
the Pi3.   This makes configuration easy as there is nothing to configure.

Also the newer 3B model is worth it, faster networking.  I may upgrade
eventually.
