Hey Community,
I have been using a NanoPi m4v2 for about 4 years with the official sata-hat with 2x 3.5 HDDs and 2x SDDs NAS and cloud storage, also with lots of other hosting. It works like a charm. Now a friend wants to build one, but the problem is that the Nanopi is really hard to get or really expensive. So is there a successor or similar newer SoC with the ability for a SATA hat or some SATA ports?
I've seen this FriendlyELEC CM3588 NAS kit with 4x M2 slots, which is quite nice, but 2TB+ NVME SSDs are not as cheap as a classic HDD.
I have now looked at some different manufacturers like orangpi, rockpi, etc. but it seems that nobody has anything like a sata hat. I may have missed something, but is there anything like this out there at the moment?
Thanks and greeting from Germany
