Yes, having an Intel i3 setup would be difficult to replace without spending money. Having an external USB or Thunderbolt DAS would speed up your system. It runs its own hardware RAID which means your CPU will have more power to do some heavy lifting regards the multimedia.Having USB will limit your speed to 5Gbit/s whereas Thunderbolt would not bottleneck your hard drive performance. While streaming this might not be important, but it does help when you need fast data transfer speeds.I hope this helps.
