Comment on Best way to keep a hot spare SD card for a raspberry pi?

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.

  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.
