I have one of these. The msata needs needs a small patch (needs an entry in the quirks table to be properly recognised as an ahci controller) but other than that it seems to work. No stability issues using sdhc as the system disk.Have you had a look at https://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm More specifically https://pcengines.ch/apu4c4.htm The APU4C4 is quite nice in terms of specifications and it meets almost all of the requirements that you have mentioned. For storage you can use SD cards or even better mSATA drive. The cost comes to ~120 USD with the board and enclosure (shipping cost not considered). The only thing I have not tried out is NetBSD on the APU, however I have tried out other BSD flavors and they did work quite well.
Haven't benchmarked the network throughput but it has 3 intel gigabit ports using msix when running on 8.x so it ought to be fairly quick. If someone can suggest some simple to run throughput tests I'll give them a try. :)I have come across some threads in the mailing list with slower than expected network transfer speeds in APU2 (but this was with NetBSD 7.0), I am not aware of the current status of NetBSD 8.0 on APU2.
