[Hackrf-dev] HackRF Host Computer Recommendations

I am trying to select a host computer to attach a HackRF device to.  My primary requirement is to be able to consistently support the full 20 MSPS sample rate without any issues or flakiness.  I'd rather pay a little extra for a device where I won't have issues supporting transfers than cheap out on hardware and waste time resolving transfer issues.

I've searched the mailing list and have not seen a lot of discussion about what devices people are using.

Requirements and desires:

1) Must-have: Support full 20 MSPS sample rate without any issues or flakiness for a single device
2) Nice-to-have: Easily runs off of battery
3) Nice-to-have: Suitable for operation outdoors (preferably fan-less, and suitable external enclosure options)
3) Nice-to-have: Integrated NIC (preferred) or additional USB port to support USB-Ethernet adapter (acceptable)
4) Nice-to-have: Integrated WiFi (preferred) or additional USB port to support USB-WiFi adapter (acceptable)
5) Nice-to-have: Support full 20 MSPS sample rate without any issues or flakiness for a two devices (Nice-to-have)
6) Nice-to-have: Support for some sort of persistent storage (SDCard, eMMC, etc.)7) Obviously the lower cost the better

I know I am probably not going to get all my nice-to-haves.

I've seen the ODROID-XU4 which seems to fit my requirements.  Can anybody confirm good HackRF transfer results with it?

Are there any other devices where users have had consistently good results?

Many thanks!
