I have an ARM box that runs a little Debian server (typically an
advanced NAS), it uses an USB key as an ext2 root filesystem. Everything
but big storage is there, and it's been up and running 24/7 for 3+ years
without any USB key incident...
The USB key is a cheap 1 GB Verbatim I purchased from the next drugstore ;-)
