I had some experience with Espressobin v5 and v7 devices. All the issues that I had with the devices were caused by terrible software support. Openwrt was unstable. The original kernel was too old.

The best results were using armbian kernel and userspace for this device. You should be able to build one in a less than an hour on modern pc.

I have a v7 device that I use with a sata drive. It has been stable so far.

Edit: forgot about needing a recent bootloader. This is also mentioned by armbian docs.
