PCIE device compatibility

[Andrea Cerfoglia]

hi there!

im a beginner in the linux world, but to try to learn a bit more and to try to make something useful im currently lookin at a orange pi 4 board in hope to somehow turn it in a NAS/Emby server.

 

i played a little with the Opi4 and it looks promising, the only problem is that it doesnt have sata ports. i can get an extension board to plug in a mPCIE device, and i was planning to use it to connect a PCIE-Sata device. since i still have to buy it, do you have any suggestion? i looked at the JMB585 and the ASM1166 expansion boards, they both have plenty of ports for what i need and the speed its more than amazing, but i would like to know if they are supported. how can i check it? 

 

Thanks!
