Zoomtak T8 is one of them, but there’s now another options with Eweat EW802, except than having an internal bay for 2.5″ hard drives, it just features an external SATA connector capable of handling both 2.5″ and 3.5″ drives, and comes with better specs including dual Wi-Fi antennas, 2GB RAM, and 16GB flash.

better be at a good price, because they are many boxes with RK3288 and under 100 $
I don’t know but with the RK3288 much more powerful and support H.265, who would go with the S802 unless the price is attractive wich is not for the moment
I’ve really been surprised with the performance of the RK3288 on smartbox, very very snapy
