The only real difference between the original and LTS is the RAM configuration and power input. The one thing I would suggest however, is looking at the Rock64 for this purpose instead - not in the least because there is an OMV image available for it out-of-the-box AND it has USB 3.0.
Hope this helps.
Dear Luke,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not that technical. Is the mentioned OMV easy to set up ? The Rock64 looks to me like the big brother of the A64+. Should I take the 4 Gb RAM version or will the 2 Gb version be sufficent ?
I found a YouTube video about the Rock64 telling me that the USB 3.0 was still in a very early stage and could not be trusted yet. Can you confirm correct functioning of the USB 3.0 port ?
However my worries about shipping remain with this choice. Is there a way to find out what the actual shipping time (to Belgium) would be if I would place and order today ?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards.

In any case, USB 3.0 works just fine.
Quote:actual shipping time (to Belgium)Not really. If you need it for a specific time than, at least in the UK, you can buy the Rock64 from other sources (at a higher price).
