When you had problems with USB drives, were they flash drives or magnetic hard drives? I've had good results with The Dude on x86. I was hoping running it on the CCR could keep my power requirements down for my backup power.

Got tired of restoring backups and ended up firing up one of our old x86 routers and used internal storage and it’s been running solid for a month now.

I'm planning to run The Dude on my CCR. Will a microSD card last if used for its storage? I assume there are very regular read / write cycles that could significantly shorten the life of a mSD card. [Or, should you really use an external HDD?] Thank you - Chris
