I have 5 rpi boards: 1x rpi2+ 3x rpi2B 1x rpi3 The rpis I treat (mainly) as single-purpose devices and for that they are (in my experience) very stable. The exception being the rpi3 which will be a (hardened) freebsd server for the internal network. Most of these pis are on 24/7. The pi3 is better suited than the pi2x for a server role. It would be worthwhile attaching a usb hd to the pi3 for data. Although I've worn out a few microsd cards, I think that's been caused by my own ignorance in not allocating external media for a busy filesystem. All the pi hardware still works though, and I've had the pi2+ abd 2B since they came out. I've had one of the pi2Bs as a (32-bit) mail server running exim which failed because of my above mentioned ignorance. The pi3 runs hardenedBSD entirely in 64bit and seems very stable unless I thrash the microsd by installing ports and not exporting $WORKDIR to external (and easily replacable) media, like a usb stick. I haven't been able to get vanilla freebsd/aarch64 running on the rpi3 yet. -- J.
