Hi guys, I’m new at this intresting forum.
I bought an X96 Max, just for use with kodi instead of the Rpi and Rpi2 and I have been doing some speed tests of storage access speed of this “Cheap Chinese” TV Box that works very well with CE 9.2.1.
Hope you, like me, find it intresting. SD adaptor sucks. Don’t waste money on fast and expensive SD cards with this box. I will try to run CE from a Samsung MUF-128AB, which is very small and fast. Boot CE from a SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 is lighting fast, allmost as fast as using emmc with less problems.
