The Orange Pi 2 Plus has sata and about the same price
- tehbeard 11y agoSATA via USB though? http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus#SATA http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus#SATA
- flowless 11y agoExactly. And limited to 15MB/s writes.
- voltagex_ 11y agoI haven't seen anything with directly connected SATA outside of iMX6 boards, and the pins aren't always connected. What did the Ax0 based Cubieboards use?
- makomk 11y agoThe original Cubieboards used on-chip AHCI SATA controllers. Allwinner dropped it from their newer chips, presumably because they're targeting tablet use and there's no need for them.
- notacoward 11y agoThe Banana Pi Pro (not the regular Banana Pi) is the only one I know of that has real SATA.
- cnvogel 11y agoAllwinner A20 has directly connected SATA.
- keenerd 11y agoIs native sata that much better than a usb3 adapter? All of the chips that offered sata were SATA 2.0, or 300MB/s. USB3 goes up to 625MB/s. If a board with SATA 3.0 existed, that is still just 600MB/s.
- gruturo 11y agoOlimex boards have a direct SATA connection. This is on a Lime-A10 with a cheap 2.5" 1TB drive, about 70% full so some fragmentation etc: # dd if=/dev/zero of=6G bs=1M count=6144 6144+0 records in 6144+0 records out 6442450944 bytes (6.4 GB) copied, 136.176 s, 47.3 MB/s # dd if=6G of=/dev/null bs=1M 6144+0 records in 6144+0 records out 6442450944 bytes (6.4 GB) copied, 93.6363 s, 68.8 MB/s Also they have a nice battery connector, they'll keep the battery charged and switch to it if main power fails (and even keep the SATA drive powered (not sure if you plug a 3.5" one, though)).
- mkoryak 11y agoI made the mistake once of buying an orange pi. I thought, hey, this has better specs, so its better. I was wrong. Horrible support, 2 of the usb ports never worked. The community is non existent compared to rpi.
