The u-sd is the usual abbreviation for the teeny little 64G micro-sd card 
the pi boots from.  With 64G to play in its going to last a lot longer 
before it fails than an 8G card, and removeing temporary writes to /tmp 
by transferring them to a SSD plugged into a usb3 port, it should last 
at least until the rapture. Or until my pacemaker needs replaced in 
another 9 years because the battery is failing.  Since I'm now 85, that 
would make me 94 yo then.

Does this clarify it for you? :)
