I want to order and test a Quartz64:

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64

It comes with a sata and a pci-e port.

Although I think it is best supported under Manjaro

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#Manjaro_ARM

there is a Debian installer

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64

and

Linux 5.15 brings Quartz64 device tree: https://www.pine64.org/2021/12/15/
december-update-a-year-in-review/ (you need to scroll a bit).


Rough comparison with the Raspberry Pi 4:
