Most SATA PCIe adapters will work out of the box now, but powering the drives is a little annoying. There are a few HATs or CM boards that have SATA ports that also distribute power, like the Penta SATA HAT.

Do you know if running 5 drives on a Pi5 is reliable/stable with a Penta HAT? I think the biggest issue is that drives could potentially go online/offline either by bus disconnection or power (which could be the reason for bus disconnection).
