Hi,
You may try :
- check where the failures come from (with logs and messages of dmesg)
- use armbian with the 5.10 linux kernel
- test with an ATX PSU (if you have a desktop pc) as an external SATA power
- check temperature of the CPU with "sudo armbianmonitor -M" / install a heat sink on the SATA card if it does not have one
- eventually enable the gen2 overlay
- "sudo armbian-config"
- toggle Hardware > pcie-gen2
Hardware > spi-spidev
From my part I do not have the pine64 SATA card. Some complained about this cards, but I suppose that some have managed to make it work properly !
good luck.
