The Pi3 can boot directly off usb, alternatively just have the boot partition config (fat filesystem) on microSD point to the real rootfs on ssd/spinning hdd.

I have a raspbian cups fileserver thats ignoring all this and keeps running for 3 years on the same cheap sd: have it set up to offload almost all writes to tmpfs to reduce wear: /tmp, /var/run, /var/tmp, /var/log, the cups spool folder and more (/var/spool/*). Noatime mount option.
- CBLT 8y ago> /var/log mounted on tmpfs I would never do this at my job, even if I ship logs. I might do this on cheap hardware at home though. > Noatime What makes noatime better than relatime?
- ce4 8y agoIt's at home, an old raspberry was used as a wifi bridge for a laser printer. I basically used only spare/scrap parts. Also: s/fileserver/printserver/ though, my bad. > relatime Sits somewhere between atime and noatime, where "somewhere" is tunable. I wanted the least writes, so i went with noatime.
