[kwlug-disc] Fw: Raspberry pi 4

[Mark Steffen]

One other thing I like about the Odroid N2+ and Pine64 Quartz which is 
lacking in the Pi is support for eMMC modules (up to 128GB) -- much 
faster (~150MB/sec read and about half that for write) and more reliable 
than sdcards, though M.2 NVME 2280 support would be preferred of course.
