Brand SD cards are quite reliable. If you configure your SW to avoid sources of needless constant write churn (eg. like postgresql stats collector), and use good power supply, they will last years.
- ikaruswill 6y agoYou're absolutely right. I've running these SD cards for about 2 years now. I use log2ram to stream logs to a ramdisk and then sync that at regular intervals to disk, to extend the life of the SD cards.
- redis_mlc 6y agoIf you use Postgres as a single master on any storage device, you will also want to disable the slave writes, which seem to be enabled by default. If your device crashes with those enabled, Postgres may not start up again without manual intervention. Also, use the most current version since Postgres has had a brutal number of CVEs in the past few years which are in metasploit.
