SD cards are the literal worst.
they've expanded to be the size of small hard drives, and devices like the rpi keep using them as boot media, but they:
- use garbage tier low endurance flash cells internally
- have little to no overprovisioning for wear
- perform only the most basic wear levelling
- have no protocol level integrity checking
- have few internal error correction features, if any
- decay comparatively quickly without patrol scrubs
- do not perform patrol scrubs
- cannot do PLP
@kelpana @gsuberland USB-attached SATA or NVMe SSDs.
USB flash drives are the exact same (or often worse). Don't use them either.
@raito @kelpana @gsuberland Yes, if you have a Linux kernel, you suddently have more good options.
"Microcontroller project" just didn't sound like Linux to me :)
@manawyrm @kelpana @gsuberland agreed; as we talked about RPIs in the start, I was considering the large spectrum of microcontroller projects
Nonetheless, I suppose that even ESP32 grade stuff could get access to a good implementation of something like UBIFS?
