Question: What to use 32GB microSD for?

Because I'm indecisive as fuck, and have two devices but only had the cash to buy one right now, I'm stuck with a decision. And since I can't figure it out, let's ask the internet!

The situation:
- I bought a 32GB microSD card at a local store (store is part of a larger chain, so it isn't fake).
- I have the following devices that would really like a 32GB microSD card:
- A RPI Gen. 3. I use this as a headless webserver/image booru (shimmie)//dumpstore. It currently has 16GB of storage and around 2GB available.
- My New 3DS. You know what this is used for. Same size of storage, but is almost always filled to the limit of usage due to me hoarding files.

The question: What do I use it for? Do realize that I plan on buying a second 32GB card in the near future for the other device.

I magine your life without either. I would say to RPi because I don't think you are *always* downloading new stuff on your 3DS...
 
You said it yourself. The New 3DS.

"but is almost always filled to the limit of usage due to me hoarding files."

Well there you go, then.
 
i would say 3DS
can't you connect an HDD or a thumb drive to the pi as extra storage?
you can even remove your current sd card from the 3ds and plug it to an usb adapter to your pi..
unless you are out of usb ports on the pi and don't have a hub...
 
@migles ... sorta? I've never tried to setup apache with the server on another drive, so I'm not sure how that'll work I guess just symlinking /var/www/html to the external drive should work. Also, I don't use an SD-to-USB. My main PC has an SD card reader build in.

But given your guys advice, I'm going with the 3DS. Thanks for helping me decide ^_^!
 
i mentioned the adapter because there are some cards or devices comes with a sd to usb adapter lol i got several of them from my flashcarts for example, and i don't use them..
but i guess you can also setup ftp or file sharing on the pi, and remove stuff from it, or pi can get stuff from the pc in the go, etc..
the way i see is the pi you can have several sources of files.. while the 3ds you got just the card

I'm a bit simplistic, so scp just works fine for me. Now that I think about it, a reinstall might just be what that thing needs to free up space.

EDIT: Well, a reinstall it is. The html folder is 3.8 gigabyte, so any storage bloat must come from somewhere else. Probably due to me file hoarding again.

Should've used it for RPi instead..
 
@Felek666 - I'll buy one next month. It's just that I only had enough for one right now.
