I think it does, guess I'll find out or use an adapter.
Depends on what you're going to store on it. 16G is good enough for most
of what you want to do on something like an RPi. As far as how long
it'll last? About the same as any other FLASHish drive. It's only good
for N write sessions before it essentially goes read-only or
self-destructs ("Good evening, Mr. Phelps...")
If you're going to do a bunch of data storage on the beastie, I'd get a
cheap USB-based hard drive and use it for that sort of thing. That's
sort of what I have on the Jetson TK1--although it has an integral SATA
port. I have the TK1 boot the OS off an MMC card, but all of the heavy
lifting (home directories, /tmp, etc.) is on a cheap 80G 2.5" SATA
laptop drive plugged into the SATA port. It's not pretty but it works
and I'm not worried about running out of write cycles on the MMC while
compiling code on it.

One application that looked interesting, Adaware has been pushing one
for tracking overflying aircraft. If you feed data back to their system
you get better access to their tracking as a reward.
Dunno, I am an experimenter by nature, will try a desktop configuration
first, using an external USB drive as you suggest.
