Hello,
Just a small post to report some success with a cheap 4-port SATA card on the Rockpro64
![Big Grin Big Grin](https://forum.pine64.org/images/smilies/biggrin.png)

It works with Ayufans 0.9.14 minimal, and with StretchOMV (Stretch) - with armhf variants.
All ports work. For testing I have a 4Tb Seagate, and 2 x 3Tb Seagate in RAID5. There is also a 2Tb drive not in the array.
(Card mode switch is set to AHCI boot)
For individual disks, under Debian using hdparm -Tt /dev/sdX, I was getting >100mb/s.
I will update when the array has finished syncing.
hdparm -Tt /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Timing cached reads: 2026 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1013.04 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 830 MB in 3.01 seconds = 275.87 MB/sec
Not bad for a little SBC.
