Check your OS; while the firmware of modern SSD devices does much of the work of rotating blocks of Flash around to mitigate this, the OS can help by using a TRIM operation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM I personally would consider that rapidly changing files should be kept somewhere else such as tmpfs with periodic snapshots to nonvolatile storage. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix/linux, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure http://sinenomine.net
