Worth going from MK908 to X7?

[kanwisher]

Anyone go from one to the other, what are your opinions? I'm somewhat satisfied with my MK908 after all the custom roms coming out for it, but I want a device that's a little more put together and has more support from the manufacturer.

I'm wondering the same actually.

Not ready to drop $150.00 to find out right now.

I have been thinking about replacing my T428 with X7 since the focus of development seems to have moved away from T428 lately.

One question though: Currently I have a 1TB 2.5" HDD connected to a USB hub which is powered by its own 2.5A PSU. Are the USB ports in X7 able to push enough current to power the HDD if I pair the X7 with a 4A PSU?

Please? Isn't there anyone who has a USB-powered 2.5" HDD connected to their X7?

Other then cosmetic, usb/lan etc you will not notice too much (virtually any) performance difference

but for things like, extra usb/remote/lan connection etc you will

perfomance = not!

I would be happy to test this for you but i dont have a usb powered 2.5" HDD. But i shall se if someone can lend me one for test if it works with stock powersupply or with a bigger one 5V 7.5A.

I'm not looking for more performance but convenience and continuing support.

If I replaced my T428 with X7 (and could connect my HDD directly to it), I would be able to get rid of:

• USB sound card
• USB-RJ45 adapter
• USB hub
• Extra cables, etc.

Besides, there hasn't been too much support for T428 from Tronsmart's front lately. Also, the more exiting new features seem to find their way to X7 more quickly. All our top developers also seem to favor X7.

Good news Molle. I borrowed a Samsung 1tb usb hdd from work and it works perfect with stock power supply, tested copy over movie and then use MX player to watch video and no problem at all.

Perfect timing now when roms starting to get really good.

Hi, was it NTFS or FAT32 format? Thank you very much!

My 1TB HDD is NTFS-formatted and I have had zero problems with any ROM I have used (Finless, Nexus, HFW).

I can even share it through 'Samba Filesharing for Android'.

Thanks, Molle. As you know, I'm a rookie on this android tv world. Is it so necessary to use a ROM which is not the original? Is this an important issue when playing external HDDs?

Thank you

Finally found a buyer for my T428. X7 now on order from UsellIsell.
