I'm probably some other kind of geek, feeling limited by a Gbit connection to the home NAS. Hard to maintain: not sure about others, but I had stability issues with my Pies using USB devices like wifi adapters, memory sticks and webcams; I would not trust one to store anything important, especially on complex setups: onboard USB -> Powered USB hub -> USB to SATA adapter -> SATA HDD (with external power).
