HATs and other add-ons • ZERO - Add RW Storage when /boot and / are read only

$

I'm using a ZERO W. I have a project and would like to set the / and /boot RO for protection in the event of a power failure. However, I need a small amount of disk space for work logs and data.

I first thought I could power the ZERO through the 5V pins and connect a USB flash drive to the USB OTG power. Then I saw a note that you can't power a USB device through the OTG port.

So having never looked into it, can I add a small RW partition to the SD card that I boot from for what I need? I'm asking in case there are any special considerations I need to know about.

Thanks
