One for playing videos recorded on a myth system (nfs mount) - original
4G raspian SD overwritten with gentoo
one used for low power storage (32gb SD) for a security camera ... stage
the images on the rpi, power down the big stuff at night and when
available move the files into the main storage (all automated).

Both have been running since the first rpi model B's stated shipping
with the only problem being the ext4 filesystem I chose to use (yuk)
