Hi, actually all my projects and the project i knew from my colleagues run on Beaglebones, due to the onboard eMMC, which is much more restistant to power outtakes and other crashes. In the last year there was not any problem, even with systems running 24/7.
Most of the time I use those SBCs only for easy implementation of ethernet in electronic devices. Due to this fact, they get never powered down properly. Regarding the finacials, there are two things: Firstly, here in Europe a single RPi2 is starting at 36€. The actual ODROID C1+ costs 37$, which is today about 34€. I guess there will be some mass discount and shipping has to be calculated in both cases. The difference is quite low. The C1+ will give you the ability of using USB only for the HDD and having the ethernet on the SoC. To be clear, I did not work with an ODROID up to now. Secondly, I think i missed the point a bit. I was thinking of using the PiDrive also as a small, central storage for documents, photos, videos, etc. of a household. Therefore a bit more powerer may be nice. Overall, it would be great, if the project developers keep those limitations in mind, to make any portings as easy as possible. Or even base the system on a generic linux (e.g. Debian), so that device-level porting is not needed. There is another thing: I do not know, how it is handled in the rest of the world, but in Europe most of the private internet connections have dynamic IPs assigned. If the PiDrive should be easy to configure and worldwide accessable, this hast to be solved in an easier way that manually adding a dynDNS service and portforwarding. Best regards David
