Doesn't it only have like 64GB of storage on it? How do you survive?

Doesn't it only have like 64GB of storage on it? How do you survive?
- pandeiro 11y agoI've just purchased one, and to go along with it, I ordered a 128GB SD card and a 64GB USB C pen drive, bringing the total capacity to 256GB. The removable storage obviously won't be as fast, but I believe I can keep my daily work stuff and OS entirely on the SSD, and use the other storage for more extraneous things. Obviously a 128GB SSD would've been preferable, but I think this strategy will work out.
- oxplot 11y agoOK. Sandisk SDs should support TRIM (provided the SD controller supports it too) so you could keep their performance up over the time. I can confirm that Sandisk's 64GB microSD extreme pro is TRIMable on a raspberry pi.
- enoch_r 11y agoI have a 128GB USB drive (a SanDisk Ultra Fit) that stays in the machine permanently, mounted to ~/ext, for anything non-dev-related. This has worked out fine for me--haven't ever really come close to filling up my drive, with the exception of a couple times when unused docker images built up over time. Definitely wouldn't recommend it if you're going to use the machine for photo backups or something, but as a secondary machine (I use a desktop 40% of the time) it's never really been an issue.
