Edit: edited for solderless breadboard link rather than a solderable one.
SD cards have always boggled me as a storage medium and I've personally only ever used them on Pis and other SBCs, it seemed like the more expensive ones my brother would purchase would die fairly fast on the PI's I was maintaining for him. On the other hand I have a tinker board (gen 1) that has used the same SD[0] since 2017 that is currently running Bind9, Nginx, Prometheus, Grafana, Matrix synapse home server, and several go projects I've made that use a mix of either postgresql or MySQL. While each year my anxiety raises about it dying, it seems to be running fine still at around 89% utilization. Not sure if it is just built different or I hit jackpot bin of SD cards, either way I've been looking for an SBC upgrade that uses either pcie NVMe or has SATA capabilities for an actual HDD so that I don't have to worry about it as much. Even if it did die today everything on it is backed up to my PC.
