I followed the directions here - [www.jannikarndt.de]

but found that it needed some default netatalk config. Config file is available at /etc/netatalk/afp.conf - just needed to uncomment and modify some defaults.

I'd like to do a speed test but it seems I don't have a gigabit adapter on hand. Seems reasonably speedy.

I'll report back after a week of use. Also need to create a user specifically for this use. Not sure who's idea of fun is setting up users and permissions. I'll do it later....will later ever come?

Yes

What model pi did you use?

I have a 4 with 4GB of RAM. As far as I understand, the 4 is significantly faster at network transfers to hard drives.

Now if only those 7.68TB SSDs would drop down to say $100 or so...
