I just received my Rockpro64 with NAS case last week, and got 2 fresh 4TB Samsung 970 EVO SSDs today to install in it.
Running freshly installed Armbian Focal. I wasn't even able to mkfs any ext4 filesystems on the drives, got I/O errors all over the place.
Same as in other peoples' dmesg excerpts. All of the parts were from the pine64 store: SATA card, 12V/5A EU power supply,
case fan.
I tried attaching only 1 drive, same problem. So it's not a power supply issue. I also swapped in an older 500GB 850 EVO SSD,
and it's working perfectly. I also plugged in one of the 870 EVOs using a USB - SATA adapater, and that's working perfectly too.
Considering that it works fine at 1.5Gbps, maybe it's just bad SATA cables? Or do I really need to junk this PCIe card and get a better one.
