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?
