Hi, I’m looking for SBCs where I can run the OS on one storage device, and the applications on another. I believe a couple of Khadas boards have such features, but they also have some other peripherals that I don’t need. I want something like a LibreComputing potato but with the capability to have 2 storage devices (not through USB please, it had proven to be unreliable). I plan to use this as an IOT/Network infrastructure server (Pi-Hole, Unbound, VPN etc).
Orange pi 5 can boot from SD and then use a NVME M.2-2242 SSD as storage. Or boot directly from the NVME if you set up their spi flash bootloader. Good memory and cpu options but they’re pricey for what you get. Still, an actual m.2 ssd will last much MUCH longer than any SD card when running an os and moving program data around…

Thanks, I’ll take a look
