hi all
Apart from boot times is there any advantage to running LibreELEC from an EMMC module rather than a SD-Card on a Odroid C2?

In the time that I have used a Wetek Hub, I had 2 sd cards transcend into the light and possibly three... Either every manufacturer makes crappy sd cards these days, or the Wetek Hub is very hungry.

Most SD cards on the market are low grade TLC flash which is slow (to write), has limited write cycles and is more prone to corruption & bit-flips. Only good for temporarily storing photos - garbage for OS drive.
The EMMC module is probably MLC, at least it was in 2013:

But you should confirm before buying because over time everyone is switching to TLC for cost/availability.You can buy small # of MLC SD cards - Samsung Pro, Transcend Ultimate, Lexar 633 etc. I use 8GB Transcend Ultimate in my Pi's which are about £5. Much better for OS drive than crappy TLC SD card.

Okay thanks for the replies, I'll have a think about it

I alwyas put the .kodi share on a SMB share, that makes it more snapy and prevents most sd wear.
