The pine64 2G/1G versions have the compute power and network throughput to operate as an NAS (network attached storage) device. But they do not have either sata or esata, so your best attachment to drives are through an usb 2.0 (480Mbit tops) interface, which is shared among all devices (single collision domain).
And that part of it stinks. No getting around it. That makes if at best, a low performing NAS. It will work, and if its performance is adequate, then do build it. Just don't look for sustained performance greater than that 480Mbit usb 2.0 choke point.
