I contacted odroid.co.uk about their emmc modules and I got these responses:
-----------------------------
Hi Dan
We have a Rock64 customer who purchases 32GB C2 (Black PCB board) modules which currently use a chipset which is only compatible with C1+/C2 ODROID boards. There is obviously no incompatibility with this unit however ODROID now supply 'Orange' PCB board modules which are compatible with XU4 series as well as C-series. We have no indication that this would not work with Rock64 and is available in all sizes from 8GB to 128GB.
Kind regards

Hi Dan
There is some information on the different modules at the following link:
https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/emmc/reference_chart
The newer 'Orange' board uses Samsung 5.1 eMMC chipset which slightly faster transfer speeds.
-----------------------------
I ordered an orange 128GB XU4 eMMC Module from them a week or so ago. My rock64 arrived today and the module seems to work fine with it, at least with Ubuntu bionic. It may be unrelated to the emmc module but I've tried both the official and unofficial builds of LibreELEC, both boot but are highly unstable. The good news from LibreELEC is that it has proved to me the rock64 can play UHD h264 files fine, which I've not managed with mpv under Ubuntu but thats for another thread.
odroid.co.uk included a free MicroSD eMMC adapter with my module.
