I concur.
I was not able to achieve this with stretch-openmediavault-rockpro64-0.9.14-1159-arm64.img or other Debian-OMV distro, because the kernel arg (libata.force=1.5G) I added in /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf does not seem to work.
But with rockpro64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img, I was able to add it to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, and it works: no more errors.
I tried 3G but errors are back.
My SATA card is not the exact official one.
It reports as:
01:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)
I think we can consider it's crappy.
I must add that I also had to buy a new PSU (12V 7.5A), as the 12V 5A (bought from a German Pine64 reseller on Amazon, Humberg Computertechnik) was not able to spin up my 2 HGST 8TB drives.
It's the possible the 5A PSU they sent me was not the one Pine64 sells, it seems very light to me.
