Raspberry Pi 400 options

[Jelster]

Seriously considering an RP 400 as a hobby machine, mainly for my amateur radio stuff. I like the 400 as it's built into the keyboard, but what are my storage options?

I was considering a fast 256GB card for storage. Some pointers on where to buy would be good...

Assuming you mean 256GB micro SD - I would suspect that for storage a USB M2 SSD would be the way to go for performance - even though it means having an external device hanging off the Pi.

I've never bothered with an SSD on my RPIs, just microSD - I guess it depends on the application. My usual source is:

I avoid ebay etc. for this sort of thing (risk of fakes).

It's all up and running, found an OS image that has loads of amateur radio stuff installed from the off, so I've even managed to write that to a new card via my Mac (using the RP Imager) and it's all working.

Just need to plug my radio gear in now, and set up VNC so I can use it via the iPad while I'm in the lounge...
