I _really_ want to throw an SSD in there, I really hate the unreliability of SD cards. I could flash the emmc memory, but I haven't had a great experience with it either. I've exceeded write limits very easily on many devices.
Still, i will open it up when it arrives and take a look, I at least want to know what is in there. Hopefully I don't break it in the process!
No problem. I'm in the same boat, with Arch at least you can't boot to the eMMC with any microSD in the slot even if it's just a "data" disk which is what I'm going with for now. An SSD will solve that problem at least.
Best of luck! Thanks for reminding me I want to post a poll about opening the back and screen cracks. If you have a screen protector be extra wary, with my first unit I opened it a few times with no problems (testing cables and such since the touchscreen didn't work) with the second when I swapped in a higher capacity eMMC the corner of the screen cracked. I'm thinking it's from having a tempered glass protector not letting the screen flex with the frame but it's hard to say.
