Forgot to mention in my last email: if you need reliability, then don't use USB flash. I'm testing ZFS on the USB drives array, and a few days after I set it up, I've already seen a CRC error from ZFS -- that's data corruption (irrecoverable, needless to say). Even for a DNS server, USB flash is no good (unless all you use it for is bootstrap -- no writing or reading afterwards).
