The original Banana Pi has an eSATA port.

This is one of the systems that is supported by Slackware ARM.

..... and so does the Lemaker Banana Pro .... I have three. Be sure you get the originals and not Sinovoip manufactured boards and you will have no problem. You'll need >= 2 amp PS. Nobody sells them here in Oz anymore but you can find them on Alibaba.

[edit] I use 2.5in SSD drives. They use less power and are a tad faster but you can get by with an 2.5in HDD drive. First install I used a 2.5in HDD salvaged out of an old netbook.

I am just installing slackware current on a Lemaker BananaPro. Be sure you have also a good thick usb cable to power it up, I could not figure out why it does not boot, and after for some reason changed the usb cable , whoila it booted.... It took me 7 months to figure it out.

with the Lemaker Banana Pro, maybe use this Port Multiplier Controller Card?
