Rockchip's PCIe is kind of a joke, you can't use a GPU there because there's not enough BAR space. But yeah, you could run an NVMe drive or a big NIC, I guess.

Also, the heterogeneous 2xA72+4xA53 CPU setup is ehh.. :/ What's really cool about the RPi4 is that there's four A72 cores. And now 8GB RAM. And https://rpi4-uefi.dev.

I've put a 4-port SATA controller in mine and use it as a NAS. Haven't benchmarked it but it works well.
