This! When I saw a new Pi was announced with
multiple models I dearly hoped for one with optional reliable on board storage. The MicroSD card is easy to use, but just not remotely close to reliable enough as the only kind of onboard storage for many use cases.
I migrated a few years ago to the ASU’s Up! Board - same dimensions, GPIO, general layout as a Pi but with quad core atom, 32GB onboard storage, 4gb of ram and “proper” gigabit Ethernet. No more micro SD card failures (I’m aware usb and network boot exist for the Pi but does not fit my needs).
This Pi 4 ticks all of those boxes except for the storage. So close to a truly great little home server device.
