Hi tkaiser, do you know the IO limitation on the microSD slot?
I can't seem to find this info on the wiki.
It's written in the aforementioned article. Pine64 unfortunately only implements the slowest SDIO mode (4 bit @ 50 MHz --> 22/23 MB/s max) so all performance numbers listed there are valid for Pine64 too. So while EVO+ shows twice that much sequential read speed compared to an EVO when used on a host capable of negotiating the higher speed modes it doesn't matter at all when used together with Pine64.
This is all well known since the beginning and this is not the 1st discussion of this topic -- see for example http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...599#pid599
And why should the Pine64 folks mention that in their FAQ or their wiki ("Hey, we could've implement fast storage but did not!")?
The wiki is a whole mess in its current state anyway (eg. only listing Linux OS images that are outdated or otherwise weird and not pointing people to the good ones made by the original developer longsleep)
