Working hardware is working hardware; form factor doesn't really matter.
My primary DNS server is a rpi.
Mine was my SOs grandmother's Pentium PC from like 2003 until something just stopped in it. Like can't even tell what is wrong with it cause it's just inconsistently down and then back up.
So now it's a small PC I got from eBay that came with like a free monitor and keyboard and stuff for like $60
That sounds like storage failure.
I actually ran into something similar with the RPI 2 weeks ago. It was running incredibly slow, certain file directories refused to load, DNS resolution was failing 1/3 of the time and was super slow when it did work...
Pretty sure the 6 year old sd card finally gave up.
Having a script automatically write a bootable backup of the SD card to an SSH server once a week makes that recovery super easy. Literally just write the last backup to a new card, swap them out, and all's well again.
