I'm trying to decide between the U1 and U9-h. I currently have an old WD that works perfectly fine, however it is getting quite old and I'd rather upgrade now before problems arise.
My main focus would be viewing my converted dvd collection that is stored on a powered 8TB USB external HD. I have this currently connected via USB to the WD, and it works well. The movies are mostly in mp4 and .iso format. The drive is ntfs.
Other than that I'd like to set it up to boot into LE/ KODi. I understand there is a way to go about this. And I would prefer to connect the HD via USB as I currently do now.
Which of the two would be best for this purpose ? I did read somewhere that the U9 wouldn't be able to run later versions of Kodi (don't recall why) though I'm not sure if this is true, or if it would really matter. As long as the working version does what is needed.
Thank you...
