damn, I was thinking on that these days: a way to create a little NAS solution based on Raspberry Pi , but with some SSD/HDD disks attached, not just the SD card XD (however I find the SD cards quite reliable so far in my phone, I would need to try a Raspberry for myself )
Your phone should use the SD card as a WORM drive, which shouldn’t cause too much wear. The Pi can’t do that if it’s the only storage medium present. Still, back up your stuff, just because it’s there now doesn’t mean it can’t be gone in an instant, flash storage usually dies in an instant without warning
I know that making networks out of duct tape and bubblegum is a point of pride in the Linux community, but if you have to store vital data, wouldn’t a nice hardware NAS and a RAID array be a better solution?
How about an external HDD plugged into the Pi? Even a usb stick is better than writing it to the microsd card.
My brain didn’t even register that the meme was about NAS data residing on the SD card. I automatically assumed it’s on attached disks and was about to snark-reply about keeping a cloned SD card taped to the Pi case for such occasions.
My phones sd card died this weekend. Fuuck. Still trying to recover the data somehow. Can relate…
