Yes, one replaced my Odroid HC1, which is now elsewhere in TLUG. I have 
a large spinning disk and a small SSD in mine. It has proved reliable in 
24hr operation over the last 16 months. Pine64 showed a HardROCK board 
at FOSDEM with the same processor that was supposed (pre-pandemic) to 
ship in May... which is more of a RPi replacement (i.e. no PCI-e).

The new toy I am eagerly awaiting is an Odroid C4, which seems to have 
made it as far as Narita.  I'm hoping it can replace the RPi that drives 
the PiDP-11 and also take over the Mozilla IoT stuff.  Not quite as 
fast, but less power consumption.
