Outside of that most of the work takes a lot of 'you are doing

Aarch64 seems to be on Amazon Graviton systems and other cloud

From outside of that, the EspressoBin/Machiato
https://espressobin.net/ may be the lowest amount of work.. but
it is still going to be work.
This looks like a networks switch product, given the multiple LAN
interfaces?
It is the only one I know of which has native SATA. Most of the other
small boards just use USB as the data bus so even if they have SATA it
is a device on the USB bus.
I used Cubietech and Odroid with native sata for arm32, and sure enough
both have 64bit with sata:
Cubieboard6 and 7
Odroid HC4
The Odroid looks better than Cubie and at only $80 from Ameridroid
https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-hc4
and only 16w with active samba use from power benchmarks. That is
important to me.
I would be willing to get one for testing. I have a Odroid hc1 that was
a bit of a challenge to get Centos7-arm working on it, but did.
I do know of one person that has it working on a RPi4. I just
don't like that I have to use an expansion card that does not seem
to be native sata. Plus it is Broadcom proprietary that has been
work for many an OS support team.
I have them working with RPi4. It takes work to do so and to keep it
running. And I don't have native SATA or even an expansion card.
The person that pointed me here, has sata on his 2 RPi4.
