Is this a good option?

Where could I find more info about these?

Update: Google to the rescue http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiplus2/

DO NOT BUY THAT!!!! Get an OrangePi+ 2e, Xunlong released the OrangePi+ 2 and it has a USB Hub unlike other OrangePis (where you'd have 4x USB ports direct wired into the SOC, each can do 40MB/s) and a few other design compromises that make the OrangePi+ 2 a bad buy.

The Armbian people bitched at Xunlong for making such a terrible board and Xunlong replaced it with the OrangePi+ 2e, which is much better.

The power supply they offer is also pretty decent, so I'd nab it with that: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orange-Pi-Plus-2e-SET4-Pi-Pl...

Does the new OrangePi PC2+ have this like the OrangePi+ 2e you mention? I was thinking about it since it also reportedly supports h265 10bit.

The OrangePi PC2 has directly wired USB ports for all four ports (3 normal USB, 1 microUSB OTG, same as Opi PC), but as far as everyone says, there is no 10 bit support for the H3 or H5. 8 bit works though :P
