hello

writing to the SD is painfully slow. it is also painfully slow to read
large files from the SD card.

External 1TB USB 3.0 WD are dirt cheap. A powered Hub to ensure that
the External HDD has required power.


I have replaced an x86 box running Debian Linux which was the mail
server and DNS server with a RP Pi 2 with a 1TB WD HD. Replaced the
Fallover DNS server with another RP Pi 2 with a 1TB WD HD. Reclaimed
desktop real estate and reduced the electric bill.
