I have a cluster of 7 SBCs, 1 pi 3b and 6 Tinkerboards of various models. The Pi I got in 2016/17 and ran Gitlab without issue until 2022, something in the SD card got corrupt and linux was no longer able to boot, I was able to salvage all of the data and continued with a new SD card. The tinkerboards, which have various tasks as VPN, Nextcloud, staging servers using docker have never corrupted an SD card.
I think the tinkerboards are better than Pi’s especially the ones that come with 16gb of onboard flash storage. However you don’t get all the niceness of PiOS but have to use TinkerOS (which was less than barebones when it came out) or Armbian which is nice but not built specifically for the tinkerboard.
I have a few friends who complained about Pi’s corrupting SD cards and it also happened to my only long running Pi so there is something going on.
- LtWorf 3y agoI had an older rpi model without wifi where the network adapter got broken. Other than that, I've been running 3 rpi at home for home automation they have been working with no issue. But it turns out that they are a bit underpowered to be used as a minetest server. I never had a corrupted sd card on those. But I had an android nokia phone that corrupted like 3 sd cards before i gave up and stopped putting new ones.
