#raspberry_pi’s New M.2 HAT+ Compact is an SSD Space Saver

With its slimmer install footprint, smarter booting process and qualitative tweaks, Ubuntu 25.10 for Raspberry Pi is looking a real treat — but the biggest boost to performance is one you can make by switching from a microSD card to an SSD. If you own a Raspberry Pi 5 and have yet to leap to a more spacious, speedier solid-state drive, Raspberry Pi today launched the M.2 HAT+ Compact. It’s a smaller (but marginally more expensive) version of its official storage add-on for the Raspberry Pi 5.

Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump
▻https://www.404media.co/sales-of-hard-drives-prepper-disk-for-the-end-of-the-world-have-boomed-unde
PrepperDisk is a mini internet box that comes preloaded with offline backups of Wikipedia, street maps, survivalist information, 90,000 WikiHow guides, iFixit repair guides, government website backups (including FEMA guides and National Institutes of Health backups), TED Talks about farming and survivalism, 60,000 ebooks and various other content. It’s part external hard drive, part local hotspot antenna—the box runs on a Raspberry Pi that allows up to 20 devices to connect to it over wifi or wired connections, and can store and run additional content that users store on it. It doesn’t store a lot of content (either 256GB or 512GB), but what makes it different from buying any external hard drive is that it comes preloaded with content for the apocalypse.
Trompé de post où commenter @kassem non ?
#Internet_for_doomsday mais en fait pas vraiment :
I was also interested in PrepperDisk because, unlike a lot of “prepper” products, PrepperDisk’s marketing is relatively understated. Chace doesn’t consider himself to be a prepper, and generally doesn’t sell the product in apocalyptic or conspiratorial terms. It feels more like a project designed to preserve and distribute vulnerable data from the internet than a project designed for the end of the world.

One of the best things about the Raspberry Pi 5 (other than the performance boost over its predecessor) is how much simpler it is to add an SSD. And if you’re running a full desktop OS like Ubuntu you should use an SSD: startup times are blazingly fast, and the I/O performance blows even top-end SD cards out of the water (so to speak – you shouldn’t put SD cards in water). But finding the right NVMe SSD can be a mission.
