Of course, something like the mini-NAS that Geerling describes in the following article IS a great fit for an N1x0 machine. These are really all just a spectrum of tools we have available, many of which are better fit than others for particular niches. A NAS seems like a perfect fit for N1x0. So, yeah, my initial response was dumb, but so is dismissing the RPi simply because you're trying to apply it to the wrong kinds of use cases.
