I was waiting for 80 for long time and now it is sad to see it w/o sata

An ARM-powered Board just like the Cubietruck(3) or 8, with 2 SATA-ports, even for 350€ (approx. 400$) would be an instant-buy!

So I would replace this with a microSD interface. I cannot imagine that the difference in cost of the board would be ten’s of USD’s. People will use the MicroSD with their phones and hardly have new SD cards.
I agree also that a SATA interface is nice, but there are USB to SATA solutions. Buyers in Western countries will prefer most of the time a SATA drive. I would sure put an eMMC interface on the board, so people could stick a 64GB eMMC module on it and in the future perhaps an 256GB module.
The Wifi standards are developing so fast, that I would not stick this on the board, I would link this with a small adapter in an USB port. I also think that not everyone will connect a Cubieboard to a Wifi interface. At home I prefer a normal network cable above the people snooping Wifi channels.
I think in countries where the public support for fast Wifi is low, people could stick a Wifi G or N connector in the USB port, but in Western Europe people would prefer the fastest AC standard.
My personal preference for support of a new revision of the A80 Cubieboard 8 would be support for SATA and replacement of the SD interface by a MicroSD interface and a connector like the Odroids have from Hardkernel for the eMMC chips. Wifi only supported through an USB connector. I doubt if it is possible, but I would also like a replaceble GPU so people could upgrade this easy. Cubieboard is the fastest in most things, but in some things it will be outrun by a Jetson Tegra K1 because of the GPU.

I still will love the A80 Cubieboard 8 and I would prefer it above the Jetson Tegra K1 because of the different Operating Systems running on it. As a normal business user I would prefer Windows RT for some desktop apps and for personal usage a fast Linux Distro.

Just think about it with a new revision of the Cubieboard 8
