I see... So, what would you recommend nowadays to run OMV+LMS? There is lots of new stuff out there, but is it any good & reliable & fast?
Possible to install OMV4 on Odroid c2?

I don't recommend anything since usually users ignore what typically goes wrong with SBC (that's powering, bad SD cards and crappy USB storage). USB storage and especially USB3 storage can be PITA and the only devices that mitigate most of the involved problems only allow to attach one disk in a fast way (ODROID HC1/HC2, Transformer and the still not available Swiftboard).
That said I never encountered the problems you reported with my various Rock64 (I only use some quality USB-to-SATA bridges with single disks) and as such I would expect you might run into similar issues with any other SBC and your Prolific USB-to-SATA bridge (with integrated SATA PM or whatever to get 2 disk devices on the USB bus).

Thanks for the candid advice. Thinking about what you are saying, I am going to try something different, that is to use each HDD with its own SATA connector, one plugged into the Rock64's USB 3 port for fast access to my music library, while the second HDD (the back up) will be connected to one of the USB 2 - as the backup runs at night and does not need to be so fast...

Hi again. May I ask you which HD enclosures / chipsets have given you best results with the Rock64's USB 3 port using OMV? I have read conflicting reports about chipsets JMS567, JMS578, JMS561, ASM1153E, ASM1053E, and ASM1153e working/not working with the Rock64.
Thanks!

JMS567, JMS578, JMS561, ASM1153E, ASM1053E, and ASM1153e
From this list I personally tested all except JMS561 and had no problems once underpowering problems were resolved (with host powered disk enclosures for SSD and 2.5" HDD it's often undervoltage leading to all sorts of strange phenomenons).
And you always should take care to avoid the 'buy cheap, buy twice' situation -- 2 years ago I ordered two cheap 'JMS578 adapters' on Aliexpress which were based on Norelsys in reality.

Thanks - as always, very useful advice.
RE the underpowering problems: as I explained in an earlier post, I am using Pine's 'official' PS for the Rock64. Should I get a PS with higher voltage and/or amps?
Also, I am using mains-powered 3.5" HDD enclosures, should I get higher voltage for those?

No problems with mains-powered disks. And their official PSU should be fine too...

Thanks once again.
Back to the chipsets: I just read a recent post by you recommending using the Rockpro64 with an ASM1061 SATA card? Would this advice apply to the Rock64 as well? What about ASM1352R, do you know if it works well with the Rock64?
-
using the Rockpro64 with an ASM1061 SATA card
ASM1061 is a PCIe controller and as such works only on devices with PCIe support (the RK3399 SoC on RockPro64 features 4 PCIe lanes with Gen2 speeds that are exposed as normal x4 PCIe slot).
And while USB3 with good USB-to-SATA bridges might slightly outperform such an ASM1061 controller if it's about sequential transfer speeds (~400 MB/s vs. 390 MB/s) USB storage in general is the least reliable option (especially with USB3 and USB3-A receptacles).
The unfortunate truth is: USB(3) storage sucks for various reasons.
