Things that I find missing:
- filter not just by presence of SATA, but by number of SATA ports
- filter by availability of SATA power
I would really like to have a small (ARM or x86) board with multiple gigabit ethernet ports and also at least two SATA ports, to use as a homeserver (combined router and NAS with select web services exposed to the public internet). This role is currently filled by a small headless desktop PC, but I feel like I could go much lower in the power consumption dept.
- maweki 8y agoIt's also important whether the SATA controller is passed through USB or properly connected. Some boards have abysmal SATA performance because of that.
- cunidev 8y agoBy rule SATA in Board-DB means "native SATA" as USB-SATA sucks. Some boards with USB3-SATA are listed with a notice that SATA isn't native, but USB2-SATA is definitely banned from being referred to as "SATA".
