Years ago a friend of mine (perhaps on this list) used a cubie board that had sata on it.
Quick google shows that you can find a fair number of 'lists' that let you search for 'sata' and get decent results [1]. If I was building a project for that, I would start there.

I want to get a _very_ light weight "computer" to act as a controller for some local storage. Basically a DIY Network Attached Storage that burns very little power.
It's primary purpose in life would be to save video from a security camera.
Is Raspberry Pi still a good option, or has there been other competitors in this space that might be a better choice?
I'm also thinking just a cheap tablet might be a good choice? Best Buy has an Android based tablet for $60 and there are Windows based ones for less than $100. They are designed for very low power with the bonus of a screen, but it probably won't make a good file share.
Opinions welcome.
