Yes but RPI 4 has usb 3.0 ports that you'd really struggle to saturate with a gigabit connection - I used to see the lack of sata as a major problem with that platform but nowadays it really doesn't matter.

AFAIK the USB ports on RPi are shared with other peripherals. And there is no way you can connect more than 2 SATA drives without additional HW .

On Rpi 4 the USB 3.0 ports get their own dedicated USB 3.0 controller that's connected through a PCIe 3.0 1x bus. They don't share bandwidth with anything else.
