You can try this:

[HOWTO] Boot from SD card, use internal memory for data

Setting it up this way will only use the SD card for booting and all data (that needs to be read fast) is on the internal eMMC, is that correct?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

If I would buy one of these Sandisk Ultra 16GB Micro SDHC UHS-I I'm golden?

Don't do it.

I know this is what most people recommend.

But what is the problem exactly of doing it?

Any one that could help me out here?

I'm running Libreelec from USB at the moment on a Mecool M8S Pro+ in dual boot.

It works, but sometimes it's a little sluggish. This is probably due to my USB stick, which is not the fastest but it was the only one lying around.

I've read that it's possible (though not recommended) to run Libreelec from the internal eMMC.

This should speed things up a little right?

What are the (real) disadvantages of ditching Android and run Libreelec from internal eMMC?

Is there a way to revert back to Android if I need to eventually?

As far as I know the M8S Pro+ has DRM – Widewine Level 1 and HDCP 1.x certificates. How can I backup them?

Is running from (fast) SD really an advantage?

I'm not trying to be a cheapskate but just checking what suits my needs best.
