Hello listers,
I'm having a lot of trouble with SD cards and writing images to them.
I am beginning to think SD cards are not designed to be constantly
inserted and removed. It seems like every consumer device which has
stuff that either plugs in or connects together with leads uses mating
pairs of connectors with such poorly constructed contacts that constant
use will cause failure.
I guess when things are made and sold in their hundreds of millions they
have to be simple and cheap. But I yearn for the good old days of solid
connectors like the DB25 and centronics connectors of my youth.
Has anybody had any luck with putting the boot partition on an SD card
and the rest of the OS on a USB thumb drive?
Mike
