Wasn’t sure what category this falls under. Running console debian on a SBC off of a micro SD card. There is very little writing (few megabytes a day) to the card and running 24/7. I know life of it varies on usage and answers on the net make vague estimates from 2-10 years. Can anyone give me a more accurate prediction? My usage as described is very little.
It depends on the quality of the SD card and how much data is written to the card on a daily basis. I’m pretty sue the system writes more to the card then a few megabytes a day. I myself have a SBC running on raspberrypi OS and it writes 100-150 MB daily on average. It’s a headless system I only use for pihole and pivpn
