It would be good to know what bus the Ethernet talks on; with the Pi it's shared over the USB bus and it hampers the performance considerably.

For this reason I went with an Odroid for a small network storage system.

Edit: it has PCIe so it shouldn't be a problem.

The on-board Ethernet on the TX1 is USB3 integrated, IIRC. The system having PCIe is not necessarily a sign of how it gets used or what is using it, unfortunately.
