However, Raspberry hasn't SATA ports, only USBs.
You can use usb/sata dongle or enclosure if you won't mind the slight (if usb3 + uasp) performance hit. USB2 won't be practical, due to very limited bandwidth.
The dd command will work on USB/sata too.
Please, can you suggest me a SBC like Raspy that also allows SATA connections (eSATA) ?
I don't remember if I saw any that has real SATA, (i.e. not an on-board usb/sata). There ought to be some...
Be careful to choose one that also has native Gbps ethernet, and not on-board usb/eth chip.
The on-boar usb/something designs are often multiplexed on a single usb port, so that the bandwith is shared between all devices, that will kill your performance.
There is a lot of information about those topics on the Armbian site & forum, see [1]
Important is that the SBC support UBUNTU / UBUNTU-like O.S.
There is an ubuntu flavored armbian, have a look there:
