Alan, this is probably not what you are looking for, but others
reading this thread might find the following info useful...

ArchLinux|ARM had a table at the June 2012 South East Linux Fest.  On
display were a series of very capable consumer embedded devices,
including some very nice NAS devices.  Most had gigabit networking,
external SATA, and I think some might have USB 3.0, etc.

I particularly liked specs of the Seagate GoFlex Net device ($100)
with dual removable hard drives:
