		pandeiro on March 13, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: What's your primary development laptop? I've just purchased one, and to go along with it, I ordered a 128GB SD card and a 64GB USB C pen drive, bringing the total capacity to 256GB. The removable storage obviously won't be as fast, but I believe I can keep my daily work stuff and OS entirely on the SSD, and use the other storage for more extraneous things. Obviously a 128GB SSD would've been preferable, but I think this strategy will work out.

OK. Sandisk SDs should support TRIM (provided the SD controller supports it too) so you could keep their performance up over the time.

I can confirm that Sandisk's 64GB microSD extreme pro is TRIMable on a raspberry pi.
