There are a few ARM SBC that are very powerful - better than Pi 4. They 
have NVME/PCiE disk interfaces and several USB 3.0 interfaces.

The NanoPi M4V2 is one such, but there are several competitors mostly 
using RockChip chipsets.

They run Armbian and usually have integrated gigabit LAN (2.5 Gigabit 
with the right drivers) and dual band wifi and bluetooth.

As a workstation they are more than adequate. As a home server they are 
more than adequate.
