I thought maybe one of the other IO ports with some bridge would be faster.
I hope that was a typo... as USB3 will be considerably quicker than using a SD card, even on the rock64, let alone the pine64. And one the pine64, even USB2 is with the right drive. I can't remember the exact numbers, but the SD on the pine64 tops off around 20MB/s regardless of card (it's an interface limit), whereas you can pull closer to around 35MB/s on the USB2 USB port (think it's 40MB/s theoretical, but I have had ~35MB/s transfers over ethernet using a good USB2 drive).
