Yes, cause it was discussed on the rpi mailing list (AFAIR) and was not
recommended for NAS. You could buy SATA extension/expansion though. I think
there was 2 or 4 port.
So on the software side you could assume that everything linux can do will
do (Samba, NFS etc), but you have to take care calculating load and
throughput.
