The u-sd is the usual abbreviation for the teeny little 64G micro-sd card
the pi boots from. With 64G to play in its going to last a lot longer
before it fails than an 8G card, and removeing temporary writes to /tmp
by transferring them to a SSD plugged into a usb3 port, it should last
at least until the rapture. Or until my pacemaker needs replaced in
another 9 years because the battery is failing. Since I'm now 85, that
would make me 94 yo then.
Does this clarify it for you? :)
