Sure you're right, but what should we use as main storage on a PI instead?
Any more robust technique available, fitting in the SD slot?

B.t.w., how can a PI be shutdown without automatically starting up again?
You need to know when to power it off to prevent data loss or completely
damaging the SD card. If you do a "shutdown -h now" or "init 0" or even a
"halt", then your PI will do the shutdown, but will immediately restart
again.

Best regards,
