Many thanks for your reply Russell;
can I take it that:
"......... I’ve documented my unsuccessful experiments with using USB-flash
for the root filesystem of a gateway server [2] (and the flash device
that wasn’t used for swap died too)......"
indicates that you have also used 'designed for use as harddrive' SSD's
and found no such slow down problem ?
ie not only should not exist; but does not exist ?
