If the PCI-e bridge makes PI-powered home-NAS enclosures popular it'll probably squeeze the low-end networked NAS market quite a bit since they're usually powered by less powerful hardware (Arm/Celeron chips with 1-2 gb of mem).
Been looking at some compact/silent replacement for my aging home-server and NAS boxes were at the top of the list but the CPUs were crap or prices high, and everyone was shipping their own weird linux-based distros. Knowing that it'll be likely that software will work on a Raspberry and these hardware specs then it looks like a contender now.
