There are boards out there with SATA on them that cost less than the BBB does right now. That are around the same size.

Robert even has build instructions for it . . . but drivers still seemed to be in infancy last i looked. Anyway Chris you should be more precise on what you want. If you want any serious feedback. Which crowd do you think benefits from using a BBB but not the X15 ? Are we talking pure cost, or something else ? Granted, I'm also expecting the cost of the X15 to be out of the casual hobbyist range. Which may have been by design ?
