 +====== Flash Friendly File System (F2FS) ======
 +
 +For Pis like Raspberry-Pi, OrangePi or other models, which boot from micro-SD card, i would recommend F2FS to increase its lifetime.
 +
 +But, in general, an F2FS formatted micro-SD with an USB-adapter is to be preferred over USB-memory-sticks:\\
 +i couldn't find one single USB-memory-stick with any specifications. for SD-cards, you can find models with different specs. Thus, you can find good models to achieve higher endurance.
 +
 +The difference was/is observable with [[fmlist_scanner:start|FMList Scanner]]:\\
 +the scanner writes the scan results of a few kiloBytes approximately every 4 to 6 minutes.\\
 +USB-memory sticks showed defects every few months.\\
 +A friend is now running the same SD-card with F2FS for over 2 years.
