Hi, I've also read not so great reviews of the espressobin. I'm going to check that clearfog (pro) board. Meanwhile, I've look into the NanoPi NEO4, looks great, but the software seems lacking. There's also the Pine64 RockPro64. With a PCIE card, two SATA ports become available. It has USB 3.0 that is enough for another drive. But, when adding all the costs, board, power supply, heat sing, case, transport cost, custom duties and other costs, then, well, it's probably better to have a undervolted x86 system, for which I'm only lacking the mobo.

Hi, I've read this post but it's two years old. What I need is a SBC (in order to save some energy costs, otherwise have to go to x86) that could be used as a small SOHO firewall and router and also small file and backup server. I'd need gigabit ethernet (preferably with dedicated controller), at least one, could buy a dongle to have another port. A SATA interface would be nice, otherwise USB 3 is needed. Probably at least two USB 3, one for the ethernet dongle, another for the SATA disk. UASP support would be great. The lower the cost and the more stable the best. What do you recommend?
