@a_fancy_kiwi I agree, same here. This is the last pi that's running off an SD card with services that do "significant" disk I/O. I have a few zeros that only really write to the card for OS updates. Their job is to collect data and send it via the network. I haven't had issues with that kind of workload using micro SD cards.

Id be willing to try this. How do you have it connected? Just using an external USB attached one?

I upgraded to the Pi4 but I use this case. It has a daughter board that lets me use an m.2 SATA SSD over USB.

You should get a scsi enabled adapter though, otherwise you may have to disable it in the kernel boot settings. And if you forget that it will run at like kbit/s.

Pi 3B has dedicated bus for SD card but ethernet and usb share bandwidth. Enable zram, disable all swap and keep using sd card.
