  That wouldn’t solve the problem though would it? It might make it less likely to fail but there’s still significant downtime if there’s no hot spare for this USB drive.

    I couldn’t count the number of failed sd cards I’ve seen across all my fingers and toes.

    I’ve seen like 4 ssds in my entire life fail. Plus you could just do mdraid 1 if you want

      Any failures of SanDisk Extreme Pro / Samsung Evo Plus?

      I buy the redundancy argument. I’d still use ZFS for that if possible though. 😂

        Yes. I’ve always splurged on nice cards for my personal stuff. I think it’s more about the write behavior of Linux than anything else, since I’ve never had a card die in my camera.

        I refuse to use a pi with SD at this point. Saving $50 isn’t worth my time to reinstall things.
