I run LMS on a similar system (and also on a Pi) but opted to install Vortexbox and keep my music on a NAS. Why? Well I wanted something that would rip CDs fairly painlessly which Vortexbox does as I had made the mistake of opting for 320kbps MP3 at the outset. I was already running LMS on a 4 disk Raid 5 QNAP. I kept running into upgrade issues with the QNAP. The QNAP is backed up automatically to another at an offsite location. So I installed Vortexbox onto my old PC and then mounted the QNAP via NFS. I upgraded Vortexbox so that it now uses 7.9 and there is an easy mechanism to upgrade to the latest release as and when I want. Easy howto on their Forum. I then hacked the Vortexbox scripts so that everything uses the NFS mount i.e. I rip straight to the NAS. I think I posted a HowTo on the VB Forum. The scanning performance - I have around 25,000 tracks - is fine and in use you wouldn't know that the server does not have the files locally.
