If you can into Linux, they'll do the vast majority of things you want done just fine.
> SATA-to-USB Bridge Even if you do that, you don't have to fuck it up like a RPi maymay does.
Pic related runs samba at ~GBE speeds; there's not even really anything much more that you could want until you either install 10GBE or start lining up those 1GBE ports and drives.
> no redundancy This can be the backup drive, or one drive in a distributed filesystem, or just conventionally sync'd with rsync / syncthing.
Apart from that, there's even a somewhat obvious use case at home for a non-redundant low power computer / drive combo that torrents or takes data 24/7 but then flushes to a more power-consuming array once a day or such.
Rsync why? Just use Unison and get another drive on literally any device and you'll never have issues

Sure. I'd probably prefer syncthing, but you have essentially all options on these.
The vast majority of the related Linux software works on ARM and hardware-wise you got a good amount of processing power [without it constantly thermally throttling to death like a passively cooled RPi] and 2GB RAM.

Rpi doesn't thermally throttle. Running at Max they're still half the tdp of the chip

Uh-huh.

> Rpi doesn't thermally throttle. The current RPi certainly do. I recall v2 did, too.
