Having replaced a number of XP computers with Raspberry Pi's rather than the stupidly expensive M$ route of new hardware that could run current windows OS I can say I've not had any problems with the SD cards over several years now. I did put Banana Pi's in early on, with SATA SSD sticks, but the extra cost was probably not necessary. Moving forward it would perhaps be nice to see a credit card computer with an mSATA slot on board? But I don't think there is any particular need for that. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
