I’m wondering what you plan to use for flash memory on the Pi. Is the SD card a
viable solution in this application? Would the Pi compute module with onboard
flash memory be a workable solution?
One issue with onboard flash memory is that swapping out a pi in the case of a
processor failure would be more difficult. Is there anything else that makes
the compute modules a worse choice than the standard pi?
I've used the SD as the main "disk" storage on a Beagle Bone
for years. The advantage is you can pull it out, put it in
a USB card reader and transfer files. Mostly I use that to
initially load the OS, LinuxCNC (Machinekit fork) and etc.,
and once it is on the network that isn't needed again.
Modern SD cards just work fine, and especially if you set a
couple options like noatime in the file system, they are
quite robust.
