> SD cards fail I came here to say the same thing. I'm in the process of migrating to an SSD because I've had two SD failures. I picked up a Samsung 850 250GB for $25 on eBay and need to buy a USB cable for ~$25. So it's a little more expensive than just buying an SD card, but comparable to buying a few SD cards!

> need to buy a USB cable Hmm... Replacing the perils of an SD card with the perils of relying on a USB cable connection ? Anybody who's been in IT long enough will know inadvertent USB disconnects happen.

  A Raspberry Pi sitting cupboard silently chugging along has a high chance of SD failure, but little chance of inadvertant disconnects. That's a fine tradeoff I'd say.

  I have a few Pi's like that. I've literally zip-tied the drive onto the Pi's case.
