If you're running an "important" function with a RPi, it's only 
smart to set it up to *boot* from the SD but actually *RUN* from a 
connected USB/SSD hard drive.  The SD becomes read-only and is not 
used other than to read from to boot.  All writing is done to the 
hard drive.

Doing anything else is just...................... silly.
