my experience is, that nand is far more reliable and robust than sd (which
had recurring issues of data loss).
thus i have the crucial data in nand (ie minimal necessary system -- /bin,
/sbin, ...).
additionally i lived under the impression that nand was faster.
of course, both date from a few months ago, when i decided to to not run
my entire system from sd any longer.
with my holidays ahaed and thus some time to play around:
- what reasons make you say, sd is the future?
- what reasons, except the impossibility to replace the nand when it is
worn out by to many write operations, led to the decision to use nand
read-only?
