A few games are not currently playable from HDD such as Splinter Cell:Double Agent and Call of Duty 3. If you don't plan on playing either of those two games, there's no downside to USB loading.

    Hey, odd question, what is the life span of a samsung microsd in a raspi running raspi os and pihole?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Depends on use for some reason but I avoid any SD card that doesn't have a 2 year warranty
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    Sounds fair, don't think I can be arsed sending a small microsd in for warranty but eh
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I'd assume cards that run 24/7 with constant write transfers would fail quicker
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I've had good luck with Team group SD cards cheap and comes with 5 years but void if it's ran 24/7
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    I wonder how bad the microsd is that's in me dashcam
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    I've had it for 8 years
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    Same microsd, 140k km :x
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    SanDisk has their own tool for that to check life iirc

    I have a question about Medicat if anyone can answer.. My windows install is corrupt and wont boot. Does Medicat allow you to run DISM online or do an inlace upgrade? Trying to do some sort of repair install or recovery without a fresh installation
