I still don't have the device. Anyone close to Portland OR with Droid Razr Maxx HD? I wonder how much is too much because Movies, for example, can stream an entire movie to storage and retrieve it and display it in realtime. I think that is much greater load than I am putting on it. > What drive isn't flash?

Extremely advanced users can actually choose an external SD Card. There is a mode that uses a lot of little files, and another one that uses one big DB with lots of binary blocks. > By System blocking i meant that all drive access eventually is on a queue > ...

It better not. That's not my understanding of how databases should work.

I wouldn't use a database or the file system at all if the whole thing could fit in memory.
