I have the same issue as reported here, with two HDD, the system cannot handle things.
Either the SATA card in the Pine64 store is not very good, or the power-supply sold there (5A) is not powerful enough. Can someone definitively say if they got some other thing to work?
I can lower the SATA transfer speeds to 1.5G (add extraargs=libata.force=1.5G to /boot/armbianEnv.txt) or disable ncq (add extraargs=libata.force=noncq), and then things work "fine", but this has significantly degraded the performance of the disks.
I do not think Pine64 should be selling this kit with this problem. There are other threads about this issue, and they have been around for several *years* now, with no reaction. @Luke or anyone out there listening? The other thread where this was discussed has been closed: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6932
