SBC with 2 SD card slots? (lemmy.world)

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).

Any suggestions?

Hi, do you suggest a USB drive (the small ones from Samsung/Sandisk) as primary/secondary storage? Should I run the OS on it too?

Actually, at this point I might even consider running a mini PC with 3 slots for storage drives (2 SATA + 1 NVME/2 NVME + 1 SATA, etc). Know anything I can use?

The mini PC is your best bet. I only have ARM SBCs but they have a lot of limitations. If I needed something new it would likely be a used mini PC. I dont have any suggestions unfortunately. I saw something posted a couple weeks ago that was some university surplus- $30 used mini PC's, including the case- which will run circles around any ARM SBC. I think shipping was another $30 but still a great deal. Find something like that.

Thanks, I'm looking at Lenovo and Dell mini PCs, they look nice.

Cheers
