Beelink mini mxiii ii versus Mini m8s ii.

  • I need a box to read 720/1080 AVI, MKV etc attached on multiple drives (5 x 4 tb, USB hub powered). Had a Xiaomi Mi Box but only reads 2 of the drives due Android limitations and because of the inability to get to the root can't use stickmount etc.

    So Libreelec here we come (as it will see all the drives). Trawling the forums it seems the best sub player is $100 is Beelink mini mxiii ii versus Mini m8s ii.

    Unsure which one although perhaps the Beelink for no scientific reason. Is there a definitive guide between the two? Advantages/disadvantages.

    Will use Libreelec KSZAQ build. Is it wise to place on the NAND and kill Android? If so how do I image the original OS as a backup?
