I have Cubieboards for testing once there are builds for me to work 
with.  I am quite happy with them, but the A20 is only a duo core. The 
Cubieboard 4 is a octo core, but they left off the sata and only a 
single otg usb.

Then there is the Wandboards.  Pricey compared to Cubies, but there is a 
nice quad core with sata.  A friend of mine is running his audio 
streaming server on one with F21.
