The results are in: The Raspberry Pi 3 is the most desired maker SBC by a 4-to-1 margin. In other trends: x86 SBCs and Linux/Arduino hybrids get a boost.
More than ever, it's a Raspberry Pi world, and other Linux hacker boards are just living in it. Our 2017 hacker board survey gives the Raspberry Pi 3 a total of 2,583 votes — four times the number of the second-ranked board, the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
[...] Note that by "votes" we are referring to Borda rankings that combine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice rankings [...]
So, which if any credit-card-sized computers are you lot playing around with?

Haven't had one of my raspi's fail yet, but the sdcard interface was questionable, especially when I was still running r/w.
Wishlist items are a real gigabit network interface, and a better interface to (external) storage.

What is your review of the Raspberry-Pi SDcard interface? is it only R/W mode that screws up? and how?
Any difference in reliability between models?

I got a lot of these:
[14601686.810114] Transfer to device 4 endpoint 0x1 frame 2041 failed - FIQ reported NYET. Data may have been lost.
and when the filesystem was mounted r/w eventually it would become corrupt. This particular machine still gets it in dmesg, but worst case I just reboot the machine. It is either a version 2 or version 3 pi. Its kernel is
Linux xx03 3.18.11+ #781 PREEMPT Tue Apr 21 18:02:18 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
Interestingly, it doesn't happen on a newer kernel. This one is a version 1 pi, and doesn't have those dmesg entries:
Linux xx13 4.4.26+ #915 Thu Oct 20 17:02:14 BST 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux
These machines are semi-embedded, and have in toto been very reliable.

Power problem is my bet. I couldn't even get my Pi 3 to mine to run until I got a proper power supply.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Pi3 at 6.7 watt isn't that much? considering how much a PC uses up..

What I meant to say is that just any random USB power supply is unlikely to be stable given the Pi's variable demands.

I have a dedicated USB power supply zip tied in my networking corner for my rpi server and any other usb devices. Too many usb power supplies or ports on existing devices are not reliable or deliver sufficient power.
Something like this:

The connector sucks mechanically?

Which is basically an Odroid...
