Hmm...
Replacing the perils of an SD card with the perils of relying on a USB cable connection ?
Anybody who's been in IT long enough will know inadvertent USB disconnects happen.
A Raspberry Pi sitting cupboard silently chugging along has a high chance of SD failure, but little chance of inadvertant disconnects. That's a fine tradeoff I'd say.
I have a few Pi's like that. I've literally zip-tied the drive onto the Pi's case.
