Extra long explanation yours courtesy of "Yes" being too short for the forum software

It s possible to do one with ddr instead of using a Nand, but will probably require a microcontroller to manage it, and require a permanent power. Drain battery, reset of the filesystem on power off ... And will probably be slower due to the microcontroller managing thing
