It uses a Marvell Armada 510[1] SoC, which has a SATA port, so I assume its connected to that.

I am just about to place an order. They finally have stocks, though the current price is 10 USD more compared to the pre-order price.

They do finally have stock? There was a thread just earlier this week where I mentioned this but there was a linked forum post where they've not been fulfilling preorders, etc.

Plus there's some straight up weird stuff on their Word doc exported "Spec Sheet".
