Yeah, I don't have a lot of confidence in using MicroSD or USB flash for the software and OS in anything other than a hobby toy. I'd prefer that storage to be SSD or eMMC.
Separate from what the software&OS drive is, for a small NAS, 2 SATA ports for data storage (RAID mirrored) would be nice, but doesn't have to be in the general-purpose hobby $35 (or whatever) size board. For larger NAS needing more SATA ports, I definitely wouldn't expect or want that in the $35 board, but seems like there's probably a market for a board like that.
