With samba, some folks may want to store and manage media on the Geniatech box. Also, certain addons like YouTube simply won't let you save over the LAN. That means that downloads would have to be stored locally. Really, a 32gig SD card would be enough storage. I was just pointing out what's possible is all. I use one of the USB ports for a wireless keyboard anyway but if someone was using a phone or tablet as a remote, that extra USB port would be free to use for storage.
Also, the atv 520e has an extra USB port in the back but no plug. I might get brave and hook up a socket to it and see if it's live. There's no missing components except the USB socket, so I'm hopeful it will work. That would mean almost 200gig of storage space!
I don't call myself tinker for nothin'!
