The keystores should be removable so parent intermediary CA keys can get locked in a physical safe. I know someone was like "Just use a [new] NitroKey" but, cost, lead time, and supply chain diversity are factors; That said, the SLC flash vendors were all from Taiwan. I tried a Cactus industrial CompactFlash card and a microSD card in a COTS CF-SD adapter, both in a CF PC rear backplate mounted receptable, behind a SATA-PATA bridge, re-using plentiful SATA ports on a modern PC motherboard.

SMART capability lets us monitor underlying device health. It worked for both devices, but the available monitors were different. CF-SD bridge has Media_Wearout_Indicator, Cactus tracks Soft_ECC_Correction. The CF-SD bridge needs "smartctl -T permissive" as it's not recognised. So there is no one size fits all smartd config.
