Any plans on running the OS from ssd or even cheaper an M.2 instead of SD card ?

I understand that there is a new version of the Argon case that supports an M.2 drive. However, this routes a USB from the back into a compartment in the base.

I currently have three USB TV tuners and a USB remote receiver attached to the Pi. So I don't have a spare USB port. Of course I could use a hub, but I'm not seeing any issues with the SD card. I was a little concerned about it getting hammered by TV timeshifting, but I back up TV recordings regularly, so if the card fails it will be quick to get back up and running.

Overall, I'm still amazed that this tiny computer can do everything I was doing with a full-blown PC only a couple of years ago.
