For the love of $DEITY, please at least use an external USB disk. In RAID1, if possible. (Perhaps some multi-RPI git mirroring scheme could work as well? Anyone ever done something like that?)
Do not EVER trust your valuable data on SD-cards on a Raspberry Pi!
- rcarmo 8y agoThe 2B and newer boards are much more reliable, especially when running Ubuntu ARM.
- vardump 8y agoI think it often depends on the power supply quality. I think many of the cards were corrupted due to bad power. Regardless, 3 bits per cell TLC SD cards (or QLC, 4 bits per cell, ugh) are not made for repeated writes, like git or database workloads. They will get corrupted even in the best conditions. You could use industrial SD-cards, but I think it's easier just to plug in a USB drive.
- ahje 8y agoIf the data is valuable then one should have an off-site backup anyway. I use an old laptop pretty much in the same way that the author uses his Pi's. While it's fairly new SSD is much more reliable than the Pi's SD card I would never store anything important on it unless I'm certain it's backed up somewhere else as well.
