SD-card is not suitable for hard disk replacement. They always fail after month or two. In newer rasberries you can boot from directly from the USB-disk.

In older Rasberries you need to boot from SD, because USB is not recognized as boot device but soon thereafter you chroot to USB-disk.

Is it really that fragile that it can't run Pinhole for even a year?

Or it has to do with the experience of the user?

Did you've Powerbackup? How did it corrupt your card?
