The only gripe I have about this is that it appears to be dependent on a microsd card for storage. Is there an alternative? I've been burned one too many times by corrupted storage on those to go there again.
Corrupted storage is a pain :( The Beepberry firmware can safely shutdown the Pi before disconnecting power, so hopefully that will help with SD issues. raspi-config also has a read-only overlay filesystem option now.
+1 they're quite cheap now -- as of writing, $17 for a samsung 128gb, $15 for sandisk 128gb on Amazon. I have a fleet of Raspberry Pi that have been using these cards.
The other thing you can do is to buy two and clone your SD card (or back your card up as a `.img`).
Other than that, I want five of these.
