Per specs:  600mA up to 1.8A @ 5V

(mAh not the right unit :-)

I use a B (without the +) to serve DNS and NTP to world, though I'll 
admit to using Linux on it.  It's plugged along fine; the only time I 
had an issue is when it got caught up in an NTP DDOS.  That and that it 
seems to lock up a couple of times a year for reasons unknown.

However, for serving files I cared about long-term, I'd be much inclined 
to use something that supported ZFS.
