> like two sata ports for a raid or something.

Reasonable. The TuringPi board has a couple of SATA ports and a couple of mini-PCIe connectors; mini-PCIe SATA controllers can be gotten cheap, but to fit it into a DevTerm, you'd have to solder it in and remove the printer.

Ah, yeah. No errors on the uSD currently in my DevTerm, which I have basically never turned off for two years. I think the durability has gotten better. On the other hand, I used older uSD cards for doing the builds of CRUX (for the A-06) and Slackware (for the RISC-V one) and two of them burned out pretty quickly.

> that would really help with hosting stuff at home.

Yeah; for hosting stuff at home, like, I used to just grab refurb servers, and my main server (mail, web, a bunch of Plan 9 VMs, etc.) still is a refurbished DL380 G7. You can get these things from Newegg or wherever in the ~$100-200 range. Like, they have a DL380 for $164 right now: https://www.newegg.com/hp-proliant-dl380-g9-rack/p/2NS-0006-31E21?Item=9SIAG1MKA76526 . The only problem is a refurb is a refurb; I never had any trouble until I got that giant one to run FSE on, and FSE was up and down all that time because the motherboard had some problem that I never ended up solving. (Had to be the motherboard because the hardware watchdog would lock up.)

The TuringPi2 is nice. Much lower power consumption, reasonably priced, aforementioned SATA ports. That's what FSE lives on right now; it's running on a single RK1 with an NVMe. No moving parts besides the fans.
