Now I wish there is an NAS that support SD Card.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoI wouldn't trust an SD card in that role, but if you do then why not use an SD-USB converter?
- ksec 2y agoI have been wondering on the reliability front as well. But in my use case NAS is 95% Read and rarely and write. Stick a few SD Card with BTRFS or ZFS and make a mini NAS. Of course it may just be using to use M.2 SSD for NAS. Which apart from ASUStor others / synology doesn't have one yet.
- magicalhippo 2y agoI was toying once with seeing how many microSD cards one could fit on a decently-sized PCIe card. Using vertical connectors[1] you can cram quite a lot of them on there. Idea was to use a FPGA to present them as one big NVMe drive to the host, though that was with smaller cards. If I were a bored billionaire it's certainly something I'd do just for teh lulz. With 8TB cards you'd get a fairly impressive amount of storage.
