#2Posted this after receiving an email from the Wiretrustee team this afternoon. Unfortunately it seems their RPi CM4 SATA board has been cancelled (supply chain!). Full text of the email appears below.

After you haven't heard from us since August, we are calling you with some news today. It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that we have stopped working on the Wiretrustee CM4 SATA board. It was a very exciting time for all of us in the team during which we received a lot of support from all of you. Almost 10,000 followers of our Crowd Supply page show that we were not completely wrong.
But in the end, we don't see any improvements in the current situation of the global electronic components supply chain. So far, there's no telling when we might be able to offer you the board at an acceptable price.
To offer you at least something, we have decided to open-source all the design files that we created so far. You will find them soon on GitHub under the following link: https://github.com/wiretrustee/cm4-sata-board
In the meantime, we have fully dedicated ourselves to another project and further expanded the P2P network developed for the board. We will now continue to pursue this with full force and extend it with further functionalities to a full open-source alternative for traditional VPN.
We would be very happy if you support us in this project and leave us a star on GitHub. https://github.com/wiretrustee/wiretrustee

#3Got their announcement email this morning, and I'm really disappointed. I don't particularly want to buy a full CM4 I/O board and plug in a 4-port SATA card, and have a giant bare board with no case. I want something purpose-designed and integrated, with a bit of polish.
From their email:

I'm having a little trouble parsing this, but this sounds... not all that interesting to me, unfortunately.

Frustratingly, they have obviously not open sourced all design files. The only similar file formats present in that repo are: PDF, DXF, and SVG. No source files!

We will post the design files soon. We just need to organize them a bit.

Originally, the project was about hardware with storage capabilities and a software layer that would allow to access your data without configuring a router, leveraging Wireguard peer-to-peer capabilities.
That is what the second part is about - the networking software.

#8Ack! We were excited to see this. While not exactly the same, we're building (& shipping!) an RPi CM4 SATA carrier board as well, in the PiBox (https://pibox.io/). Just finishing up the final details of the metal case and shipping out the first circuit boards this morning!
I hope we'll see a huge increase in is-actually-a-real-computer-running-real-software IoT devices once the supply-chain issues start to get resolved. At any rate, we think there is a very bright future for home-hosting and IoT!

Awesome project, guys! Best of luck with the further development.

Other PiBox / KubeSail cofounder here. I put in an enormous amout of time into designing around components that can be easily sourced and are stocked regularly. A good example of this is the SL2.1A USB hub we use. The datasheet is in Chinese, but after testing it on several prototypes, we saw great reliability for 1/10th the cost. And its always in stock. Currently Microchip USB hub chips are either out of stock everywhere, or cost $5+, which doesn't make sense for low-cost Pi accessories.
The only issue we still face is sourcing actual Raspberry Pi compute modules. There's very little we have control over there.
