Home Server board with broadband storage interface

[wolfii]

Most of the available Linux boards out there lack a broadband storage interface (SATA or USB3). I would really appreciate a board with 1GB Ethernet and 1 or 2 USB3 ports to attach a disc or ssd to it.

Micro sd cards do not handle database traffic very well over a longer time (wear leveling algorithms seem to be limited there), and attaching modern drives/ssd to USB2 heavily brings down the performance.

Together with a 4 core ARM cpu and 1GB memory (optionally 2) this makes a great home server, also good for data logging in home automation environments.
