<p>Look into JFFS2 and other filesystems designed for flash. Not sure if they've normalized the low level access method. (Last I checked, JFFS2 could only talk to actual memory, not flash mem via USB or whatever. Bummer.) </p>
<p>There are several of these. They're supposed to be easier on the rewrite factor, theoretically prolonging the life of the mem tech. <br></p>

I have a PogoPlug which I use primarily as an ssh end point for screen<br>
+ IRC. It's also a decent little test bed for projects on which I<br>
might be working.<br>
<br>
I currently have a traditional external USB HDD (read: rotational<br>
media) attached to this. The use case for this system doesn't merit a<br>
solid state hard drive, but I could use USB sticks or SD cards to<br>
avoid physical wear and tear.<br>
<br>
I've been considering buying a couple 64GB class 10 microSD cards.<br>
I've read some interesting things about SDXC cards, though.<br>

See the "Risks of reformatting" section.<br>
<br>
I'm curious if any folks here can share personal experiences with<br>
reformatting SDXC cards to use native Linux filesystems? How's the<br>
performance? The longevity?<br>
<br>
Alternately, can folks report success or failure using the exfat-fuse<br>
libraries to access exFAT formatted partitions?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
