The speed of the SD-card interface did unfortunately not really change over the years. Consequently, the SD-card read and write speed becomes more of a performance bottleneck. The SD-card is prone to corruption as well. Just ask someone who runs their Raspberry PI 24/7 as a server. You can solve this latter problem by moving the root file system to an external USB drive.

Thank you for your feedback. You are indeed correct. The bootloader on the Raspberry PI 4 can be configured such that you do not need an SD card at all anymore. However, older models of the Raspberry PI still need an SD card at least for the boot partition.

If you update to the latest firmware then copy your SD card installation to an external USB SSD drive using the built-in system copier utility, you’ll have everything you need to run externally. No more SD card required and no lost list of terminal commands.
