Yes, this was the pine64.org card - I've build a PineNAS, though I'm
still trying to work out how to set it up the way I want.  The card
doesn't need any special configuration.  Note that the RockPro64
doesn't support booting from SATA.

Note that I'm getting occasional CRC errors with those disks, though I
wasn't with some older disks.  I haven't dug into whether the newer
Seagate disks are fussier or the cable is marginal.

I am seeing ~160MBps on one channel and 190MBps cumulative across
both channels.

I wasn't interested in the WiFi so I didn't worry too much.  See
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SDIO for the latest information (though it
may be out of date).
