Would there be any reliability problems with using USB flash drives instead of USB SSDs?
- Tor3 3y agoI don't really know. I assume they would be slower than SSDs though, but I have never measured USB flash. The SSBs get some 300MB/sec on my Pi 4 boards.
- NortySpock 3y agoSample size of 1, but I ran an RPi4 just fine on a USB thumb drive for about a year. Still upgraded to an SSD later because I wanted even more storage space (and SSD seemed to have better random IOPS than a thumb-drive), but I'd say go for it.
