Buying a 1TB external SSD would more than double the cost of a raspberry pi 4 that and my ancient beagle board does fine running from 32 GB.

Those are rookie numbers for a primary system. Of course my Office system next to it is a lot lower specked with the test system next to it even lower.
- thereddaikon 5y agoEh I think embedded systems are a different class. I know some people run RPis as their desktops but they are definitely the minority. >Those are rookie numbers for a primary system 4TB suits my needs and use case fine. And tha'ts not counting my NAS.
- zamadatix 5y agoEmbedded systems really shouldn't be brought into play here but even then a 256 GB uSD card for the Pi is $25 dollars and itself far overkill. My entire primary desktop OS, firmware, DEs, and very extensive package set fits in 15 GB. Multiplying my primary system by 10 and sticking it on a Pi taking $25 of storage with plenty to spare is still not an argument against binary sizes, especially since there are niche distro spins used for that niche space anyways.
- cozzyd 5y agoThe eMMC on a Beaglebone Black is 4GB. Sure you can boot off an SD card but that's less robust (though, I guess you can use the SD card for all your virtualenvs...).
