START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Dec 2020)
Hi guys, after reading through so many threads and nearly all pages on this one, i am stuck with my decision of the "best" (for me), Kodi Box.
Right now I am running Kodi on a Intel NUC 4-Core with Kodibuntu and an 10-port USB Hub, with 10 plugged in 2,5 inch USB-Harddrives in the range from 2-4TB.
This setup works fine but for personal reasons i want to sell it and buy one of the new boxes with Hardware x265 decoding, UHD and HDR, etc..

So right now I am stuck with the decision which Box to buy. I was down to a RK3399 Box but after reading this http://hometheatrelife.com/rk3399-vs-s912/, I am not shure anymore if I want the Box with an RK3399 because it lacks HDR support. Not shure if true, but if, I was also looking at a S912 box.

The biggest feature it must support my USB-HUB with all the Harddrives being able to mount and read. Even the 4TB drives, most of which have my backed up x265 content and Music Library in FLAC format. And, of course, it must support DTS and DTS-HD output or passthrough to my Receiver.

Maybe you have a recomendation or comment on my choices and if my USB setup would work?

S912

One more thing. The Box also should be able into another OS like LibreElec.
