Banana Pi R1 Smart Open source Wireless Router

I’m guessing that the SATA plug does not support 3.5" drives because the power input is microUSB with only 5V@2A max, which isn’t enough power to drive a 3.5" drive typically at 12V.

Will there be a BananaPi board which supports 12V 3.5" drive, maybe via USB C PD power input, or even better via PoE power input?

Hello I would have such a problem. The board does not receive power from the DC port. The part shown in the picture became detached due to an accidental ground contact. What part is this?
