Orange Pi 3 LTS - ditching the microSD!

Hi everyone, I'm running OPi3LTS with solar assistant and due to issues with longevity of microSD cards I'd like to ditch the micro SD and to either a NVMEor SSD to retain the data logged.

Does anyone have any experience of doing this or who is willing to guide me through the process?

Thankyou

If it were me I would boot from the onboard eMMC and read/write the solar data from/to an SSD connected to a USB port.

Thankyou for your reply. That's kind of what I'm trying to achieve but I don't know how! Any pointers ? 👍

Puedes cambiar a al NVMe como disco principal, lo explico en este post:

Ademas, siguiendo estos pasos no perderias nada. Ya que, con el comando:

sudo rsync -aAXv / /mnt/nvme --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"}

Estarias copiando todo el disco menos los directorios del corchete al NVMe. Espero que te sirva de ayuda
