Surely that would make the problem worse? Flash storage wears, and is inescapable with current tech. Building it into the device is the worst of both worlds.

- StavrosK 8y agoAre all problems due to the SD card itself? At least with the RPi 2, I've been having some problems where I need to jiggle the card in the connector to get it to boot, but maybe that was just placebo. It definitely would refuse to boot 90% of the time sometimes.
- kingosticks 8y agoI did have that problem with the original pi and it's big sd cards. But never with the micro sd cards. And there were issues with the spring-loaded slots although I've never had issues with that either.
- StavrosK 8y agoNow that you mention it, yes, this problem was almost exclusively with the Pi 2 and the 3 has never given me any such issues.
- imtringued 8y ago"worst of both worlds" is not quite right Some SD cards are unreliable because they are removable storage and some vendors therefore think they can get away with sketchy quality. As soon as you solder on the storage (aka eMMC), reliability requirements shoot up through the roof and vendors tend to do a good job of ensuring quality and reliability. However my suggestion is to just use an external SSD which are dirt cheap compared to SD cards (128GB for 26€).
