The Orange PI-PLUS has SATA connector only which is connected to the SATA2USB bridge. Quote from sunxi:Be aware that the H3 SoC used on the Orange Pi Plus isn't SATA capable and therefore the SATA port is provided by an USB-to-SATA-bridge. This means you can neither expect SATA performance nor full SATA functionality. While the used GL830 bridge supports S.M.A.R.T. attributes it does not support S.M.A.R.T. status notification (overall health indicator of the disk – instead of PASSED or FAILED you will only get SMART Status not supported: Incomplete response, ATA output registers missing).
If you wish to connect a SATA drive (2.5" mobile harddisk or SSD) to the Orange Pi Plus: Make sure your power supply is connected to the "DC-IN" port, and can deliver sufficient current (e.g. 5V/2000mA). Using the OTG port or an inadequate power supply might result in your board not being working. None of the OPI boards has USB 3.0.
If you need the board with with USB 3.0 you can try Odroid XU4, it has no SATA, but the drives attached to USB 3.0 port works at ~150 MB/sec.
