I discovered that barely-used enterprise Intel SSDs (DC S3610, S3700, S3710) were cheap on ebay a year or so ago and I may have bought a few dozen. These things have remaining endurance measured in petabytes. Sure, it’s overkill to have a 200GB enterprise SATA disk as the boot volume for a Raspberry Pi, but this is exactly my kind of overkill.
replyYeah, as soon as I was able I upgraded my Pi 4s to be able to boot USB and used an SSD in an enclosure as my main boot volume. Works rather well.
