It is the only one I know of which has native SATA. Most of the other small boards just use USB as the data bus so even if they have SATA it is a device on the USB bus.
I do know of one person that has it working on a RPi4. I just don't like that I have to use an expansion card that does not seem to be native sata. Plus it is Broadcom proprietary that has been work for many an OS support team.
