Well not exactly, but for the money, there are may be better options. The rpi4 is powerful enough to replace a low end work station. This is why I bought one, but still there is comfort missing, however if you buy SATA extentions .... but then you could buy something more appropriate for the same money I guess, cause it would go above 200,- US$. Look here http://linuxgizmos.com/sata-hats-support-up-to-four-drives-on-raspberry-pi-4-or-rock-pi-4/ Technically it works and from linux perspective it doesn't matter if it is RPI or something else. Might be that drivers are not that well tested though. regards
