James, read my post again. We took the "bad" "corrupt" sd card and wiped it, and reused it in the "good" first model b, and that one was rock solid stable. In fact we could deliberately hard power cycle it and the card would survive without corruption in that unit without fail. If it was wear issues on the sd media, why would the first board be so stable with the same combination?
None of the others stayed up longer than a fortnight. The year was a flippant dream. The first reliable B is still screwed the wall of the office still running off the lab psu and still stable though now we have repurposed it as the office media server.
None of our pi's were overclocked, none were logging to the card or doing excessive writes. They were all running the exact same version of operating system and software.
Maybe we were just really really unlucky, but we couldn't risk a repeat of that.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
