It's solid state, there is nothing mechanical to break. I've had two running continuously since 2014. Use a ramdisk. No issues.
- highace 9y agoI think they mean from when you toss it in a bin full of cables and scraps and something breaks off.
- olympus 9y agoCorrect, I meant physically breaking some part of the board as a whole, not trying to imply that there was a mechanical aspect to the CPU. I've only broken two Pis. I stepped on one because my cat knocked it on the floor, and the other I broke because I used mounting screws with too big of a head and broke off a capacitor and took the copper pads with it.
- craftyguy 9y agoTell that to some Nexus 5X owners, who experienced boot loops because (the leading theory says) the CPU contacts to the board were becoming broken by excessive heat while applying a system update. Mechanical failures do happen with solid state devices, even if they are operating within their specifications. Manufacturing defects (and gaps in testing), inadequate validation of all conditions within the spec, and/or inaccurate predictions of failure rates over time can all cause this.
