You might be interested in this thread, there is a lot of good info there about using sata drives with the rock64
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5098-min...ata-cable/
I believe the rock64 usb3 port is rated at 950ma - https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...4#pid29804 - I haven't used the usb3 port to power sata drives personally though.
I have a rock64 + 4 disk usb3 icybox enclosure running (externally powered) and I haven't had any problems related to the drives.
