I don't think you will ever know how well your NAS performs as a MYSQL server until you actually try it.
My experience with Zyxel NSA320 was not positive, Mysql installed OK and worked OK but was too slow, I had troubles with other Zyxel : NAS326 and never got that NAS working very well. I think I tried a Raspberry Pi and it was too slow, but it has been a while and I do not remember all the devices I tried before using an old Dell Inspiron 531S desktop running Ubuntu Mate. I added a faster network card, usb 3.0 card and a Probox 4 bay external drive bay to the Dell and now it works for library files as well.
