    <description>&lt;P&gt;HI ,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apologies that i dont know the Precise Name of them off hand .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We use Dell R730's and R840's. They ALL have the Micro SD boot Modules installed rather than Raid drives - to Boot off of.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They are just much easier than installing a Raid card and getting drives .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It sounded like there was a Version of Esxi 7.x that KILLED those boot SD Modules ?.. due to the method in which Esxi was written ?..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;was that correct ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also it sounded like there was a Version of 7.x Esxi that Did NOT kill those cards any more ?.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone know if thats True ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If so could someone please holler as to which version of 7.x Esxi is good with them ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;OR - i guess..&amp;nbsp; Is there version even of Esxi 7.x that Wont kill them .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Apologies i dont have the exact name of those SD cards.. they are just the small DELL Modules that hold to somewhat large MMC cards i believe .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just found them.. sounds like correct name is " Internal dual SD module "&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;thanks for all the help ..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The issue with SD Cards and ESXi 7 is not really new, just exacerbated by the added logging that ESXi 7 has.&amp;nbsp; SD Cards wear out quickly under this load, and even on ESXi 6.7 this would occur as well, just not as quickly.&amp;nbsp; I would definitely suggest installing a RAID 1 disk set to run ESXi from, especially if it's going to be production.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
