It has PCIe, so presumably you'd attach a PCIe SATA controller card. It looks like the board layout includes the usual 12V header to power hard drives with for Model A sized boards. eMMC looks to be included again as well, which would mean I'd go for the usual OS+bootloader on eMMC, big storage on HDD setup.

Small NAS with the two ethernet ports bonded and a PCIe SATA card.
Also I still think this would make for a good router, in that case I'd use a PCIe wifi card if I really wanted wifi from it.
The real answer for now though is "use it as a development board", there's a long road ahead.
