Im thinking to buy XU4Q... and you, what do you think?

If I would want to limit myself to only ODROIDs for OMV I would only buy the HC1 (or maybe the yet not available HC2 soon). For reasons simply check my signature, for HC1 see here: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/4983-odroid-hc1/

Besides that after having played around with a couple more boards the reasoning to choose only XU4 seems somewhat irritating to me (reasons)

Im not an Odroid fan.
I have just an Odroid c2 installed with OMV and, with a little work, without plugins, works smoot with 2xTb usb disks connected directly to Odroid and Resync do the copy work. Is a Flac storage for my Volumio player and do this work very well. But usb 2 port now seems slow and 50Mb/s is not more enought. Im searcing for a little card with Giga Lan port and USB3 for upgrade my NAS. Rock64 maybe can do this work for less price than XU4....

Jetzt mitmachen!
