The same hdd is recognized correctly in my laptop:

Bus 001 Device 013: ID 1bcf:0c31 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. SPIF30x Serial-ATA bridge

I've installed the full firmware package from the armbian-config tools, other usb dongles are recognized correctly.

What can i do now?

Thanks, Daniele.

Pine64 does not provide enough power for HDD. Use powered HUB in between.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I forgot to point out that the external HDD is an SSD, so the pine64 should provide enough current to power it up, anyway I'll try to use an hub.

Thanks,

Daniele.
