I got the final solution! The root filesystem of the downloaded image has the / ownership of user id 1023. Changing it to root, the problem solved!

I found out, that sshd does not start, because the systemd does not creates the tmp directory for it. It is missing despite that the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/openssh-server.conf exists and contains the necessery config for the /run/sshd directory. Maybe this information says something to somebody.

Hello I newly installed a community armbian image to my Alfawise H96 ProPlus TV box. All seems to be working except sshd. I found out, that is because of not existing /run/sshd directory. After creating this directory the systemctl start ssh wokrs, but until the next reboot. The image I used is Armbian_23.8.0-trunk.51_Aml-s9xx-box_lunar_edge_6.2.16.img. Thanks

Thanks to the suggestion, the system had armbian-firmware installed. After installing the armbian-firmware-full the usb sata disk is working well.

All the extra stuff I downloaded from here: https://github.com/maz-1/h96-pro-plus-armbian-stuff I found it on this forum here:

Hi, I have an Alfawise H96 Pro+ tvbox, and installed a community version of armbian image Armbian_23.02.0-trunk_Aml-s9xx-box_sid_edge_6.0.12_xfce_desktop. I replaced the dtb with the meson-gxm-q200-mod.dtb, and copied all the firmware to the lib, and it works great! I was able to install HomeAssistant to it, and everything is perfect. To keep the sd card health status longer I planned to put all the HomeAssistant stuff to an external HDD with an USB to SATA extension. Unfortunately the drive does not working.
