  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I really recommend a HAT with SSD, totally worth the investment.

    [–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (5 children)

    Wouldn't an SSD run into problems down the line with too many Writes?

    [–] weissbinder@feddit.org 11 points 2 months ago

    In my experience, that concern is way outdated.

    [–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

    Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality of SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs

    [–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

    The amount of writes required to kill an SSD aren't going to be seen in the real world on a timescale of less than 10 years unless you're really doing something wild that you shouldn't be.

    An SD card might fail after it's full capacity being written a handful of times, SSDs can survive that several hundred times over. Seriously look up the terrabytes written specs for various storage mediums and calculate out the daily amount of writes. Oftentimes with SSDs you'd have to literally write a terrabytes of data a week to actually see a problem

    [–] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

    Not within the computer's lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server's root filesystem.

    @Tangent5280 @spongeborgcubepants I think the days of worrying about SSDs failing like that during its expected lifespan are over for all practical applications.

    [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

    Yeah, but then you have to get a kind of case that can handle a Pi plus that hat. It's a good idea, it's just a bit more fiddly than just the typical booting from the SD card and doing everything that way.
