Does anyone know of the level of improvment, or lack of in flash drive re-wrtie cycles, compared to rotating platter drives. D. |

| 301569 | 2004-12-10 17:59:00 | Rob, I believe one of the threads related to you project holds some of the references to this read Write numbers issue. An 8 gb Flash is large enough to run Bloatdoze with all real data stored in a switch on/off raid/jabod set up which has advantagess for laptop and power saving for desktop running on 12v solar systems, among others. Hence the topic , apart from the advance in size issue. D. |
