As for whether that is a killer or not I don't know. I suppose like all 
these things the SATA port is brilliant if you need it and unnecessary 
if you don't.

Would you add a SATA drive? If so, what for?

From what I saw it looked as though the SATA drive would be powered from 
the Orange Pi, which was a little surprising given the presumed current 
required to spin a drive - but welcome, if true. IIRC the input power 
was 5V at 2A.

I confess I could do with seeing a table of the Raspberry Pi models and 
various similar machines alongside each other for comparison. If I had a 
suitable web site I would add a page to it. (I do have update access to 
some web sites but such a comparison table would not fit content-wise.)
