I'm looking to replace my x86 micro tower with a SBC, to mainly use it as a NAS and media player.
On the hardware side, I would like to have a native SATA port (for the NAS hard disk), HDMI output and H.265 decoding (media player), at least 4GB of RAM (to be somewhat future-proof). Bluetooth is a plus to play some retro games
Not sure about the OS storage: SD card, eMMC, an hard disk on another SATA port?
SBC with native SATA and HDMI ports?

Hello,
I'm looking to replace my x86 micro tower with a SBC, to mainly use it as a NAS and media player.
On the hardware side, I would like to have a native SATA port (for the NAS hard disk), HDMI output and H.265 decoding (media player), at least 4GB of RAM (to be somewhat future-proof). Bluetooth is a plus to play some retro games
Not sure about the OS storage: SD card, eMMC, an hard disk on another SATA port?
At the moment I found two boards: the Radxa Rock 3A (with its DIY SATA over USB cable) and Odroid HC4.
Both are supported by Armbian, but maybe there is a more recent board that I didn't find?
Thanks.
