Will have to see how it runs when it is truly loaded, but so far no complaints and a lot nicer than having to use a full up computer with a spinning disk and fans for the task.

That is to be expected.  I have run DXSpider on both a SheevaPlug and a Seagate Dockstar (both use a Marvell ARM chip) for a few years now and it has been rock solid.  I currently use a small WD Passport USB hard drive but have also tried a USB thumb drive (and a SD card on the Sheevaplug) with good results.  If I didn't already have these, I would use a Raspberry Pi.
