When an object-based storage service is demanded and the cost for purchase and operation of servers, workstations or personal computers is a challenge, single board computers may be an option to build an inexpensive system. This paper describes the lessons learned from deploying different private cloud storage services, which implement the functionality and API of the Amazon Simple Storage Service on a single board computer, the development of a lightweight tool to investigate the performance and an analysis of the archived measurement data. The objective of the performance evaluation is to get an impression, if it is possible and useful to deploy object-based storage services on single board computers.
