Raspberry PI does look pretty cheap. Not going to get too much in the way of support with that one would think at that price (I guess they may have paid support options).
Not sure how it compares with the ARM ReadyNAS units. Clock wise it's slower than the ARM ReadyNAS but I don't know what gen CPU the CPU in the Raspberry PI is. Difficult to compare. I'm guessing the Raspberry PI is probably slower than ARM ReadyNAS units and definitely slower than the x86 ReadyNAS models.
I'd still recommend a ReadyNAS. Allows for a good mix of installing some things yourself and having core functionality upgraded by NetGear.
For someone wanting top performance and the budget to match I'd recommend the Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200). For an existing ReadyNAS user wanting a new NAS but on a low budget I'd recommend the Ultra range. The RAM and faster CPU is a real plus. Though memory upgrades are unsupported the 6-bay models Ultra 6/Ultra 6 Plus/Pro 6 have two memory slots. Some have installed 8GB RAM in the Pro 6 and run things like Virtualbox on the ReadyNAS.
Which is why getting a newer model is recommended.

That mostly depends on your definition of "work". I'd say it should crawl along just nicely
