Hi all, You might be on the money with the SoC not having it, if you see the Omap5 A15 SoC it would suggest that Sata is an option. There is a board here: http://www.embedded.rs/
That sports a Sata2 pdf spec here: http://www.embedded.rs/sites/default/files/EPP-Pico-OMAP5430_Datasheet.pdf That being said, this Samsung soc is more leaning towards phone / tablet so it might not be there.
