Amazing piece of engineering, but I'll be holding out for the 128Gb version of their Cruser Fit as it protrudes less that a standard SD card adapter on my 2011 Air.
Haven't had much luck with microSD cards: I once bricked a 32Gb card after knocking the SD adapter again a chain arm on a train and had a failing 4Gb card get so hot it melt the provided USB adapter.
- mindslight 13y agoI cannot comprehend why there are not many more flash drives with the form factor of the Cruzer Fit.
- mkeblx 13y agoThat's why you have to go with a microSD card adapter that doesn't protrude at all. http://theniftyminidrive.com/ http://theniftyminidrive.com/

- johnchristopher 13y agoI have been playing with RPi's for some months now and I'd be anxious to use an SD card (be it micro or standard size) for reliable additional storage space or backup. Are SD cards reliable enough for normal usage (excluding RPi's brutal power-off which are often prone to corruption) ?
- e12e 13y agoYou might want to give nilfs2 a try, it should be rather well suited to sdcard storage: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=16289 http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=16289 Note that nilfs doesn't do checksumming -- for that you'd have to look at btrfs or zfs. I'm not sure how btrfs is in terms of ram usage, but generally zfs needs lots of ram -- and if you want to get the guarantees it provides for data, you need ecc ram.
- johnchristopher 13y agoImpressive numbers. I'll give it a shot in a few hours on a spare pi and see how it performs. Thank you.
