Affordable, but not cheap. I'll second Milan's followup. I have a 4GB RockPro64 with the dual-SATA PCIe card and am quite happy with it. It also supports both USB-3 and USB-C, though I haven't experimented with either. Note that the WiFi/Bluetooth module for the RockPro64 uses SDIO, and the combination isn't yet supported by FreeBSD. I also have a BananaPi M1, which has an integral SATA port but I've never managed to get the SATA to work. --=20 Peter Jeremy --CLXGH/OeGZItvI8y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEE7rKYbDBnHnTmXCJ+FqWXoOSiCzQFAmC4dJhfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEVF QjI5ODZDMzA2NzFFNzRFNjVDMjI3RTE2QTU5N0EwRTRBMjBCMzQACgkQFqWXoOSi CzQmeg/9FpCsgMO3VZJYJTySw5AOvEjZvqENE7+x2UYtErn7fMG0lrpYqvq7qxDV 5hL7BeL85JblueiVSqt8yXmIAEEl7oRZtALxnTal+FObZU+qc/FxQ7zcfNnftRoX +9Nh2M880Xr0lIHMqKI4ggP54Es5IlXecEk2AU2quYyOR78iUgqL8tl1LRdiCifH xjnqU2e6XtXgA/ft/FfnWdBqOsASc1Ru+L0AMjtZb7XcFPbP0QWQdpZj9wzEOiGn P+n/+f7BkeJLD6b3GO1aqN4egCxCCtKYqLHnvmj89QZqvEYjixC1obGGYp5AKTYk w8IeGLO3rQlLDV/f+2ZHn6JJctjh4I9GxzxM1NHXaCV0aUkELs92HMcZECZduMTA wUKbcGnNN9sveKAgFzMB16DW0a0uKbGRpyiSCDaA2nqa7l1l05lDgkhqAYu3926p BYjDyxaHTEBdiizuJ6m3D6CrYr9HWb2PwYnViHQNfCxDoRWdZCETpFhM73p4cx0I dJ1Yag3KujRcmbl+zI0SA49qt6Jxw/CO7ZaPSYv0LPgsC3CqYbLLLhU+vM0H9cEt ktKPfcHIRJ+YdmpX1lnIiEiRbuGU7bhwp0+tyGAXnk1hiHo0tuMEPdv947dxqH+D z8yVTtA66x4hU413LKsVC9bjAd4Rv/X6EianUnR1B9LOrZMNBv0= =ZAla -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CLXGH/OeGZItvI8y--
