You wouldn't likely save the g-code on the SD card at all. You'd have a wifi connection and load the g-code from your local network. Those SD cards are used for storing photos and video quickly. Photographers and videographers use TONS of memory over and over., and quite frankly I never heard o

The SD card will work for file storage but just remember a class 10 SD card will write at 10MB per second or 80Mbps. The write speed to the cache on a normal rotating disk is 6Gb or 6000Mbps. That is about two orders of magnitude better but that is "cheating" as it is only the interface speed. Th

For data storage most people will put the basic OS on the micro SD card and then NFS mount user's home directories. Likely using automount. Don't put data that changes on the SD card or then you will have to back it up You likely do only accces the pi via ssh over wifi after you set it up. >

I am getting the impression that a micro-sd would have both poor loading performace, call a surveyor to measure write speeds. And poor life in a filesystem environment. SSD w/sata would be good, but the sata on a pi is a bad kludge from what I'm reading. So, Bari, Charles S., etc, what are you
