Is the Pi OS on an SD card? I put all Pis I use on SSDs and haven’t had a single failure for five years. Before I did that a crash was an annual treat.
Obviously SSDs are expensive, even more so these days. With Linux disk writes the SD cards hold on only so long.
I've not had a single SD card failure since I've switched away from PiOS to debian, with sys logs in the RAM.
Plus she's not recording her shows, so nothing is being written to disk 99.999% of the time
Can you even boot from an SSD?
THe SSD Boot option was added to a firmware update a few years ago
SSD boot, no problem. At some point I booted RPis over the network from an image, but that was more hassle than it was worth.
Yeah I do not understand the need for PxE boot, though I've jever had to manage more than 10 nodes at a time
