The SD (SDHC describes some cards which work in the slot) card slot is a “base feature”. If people choose to fit a m-SATA drive, then they can. Or they can use the SD card socket. It’s not like we’re going to de-solder the SD card socket if it’s not going to be used. Neither are we going

I understand *that* however it doesn't say on the features page it can be booted off the SD slot - is that true? If so I have to change a few quotes I have in play as they will need to get mSATA SSDs instead. On Aug 27, 2014, at 9:20, Jim Thompson j...@smallworks.com wrote: The SD (SDHC

Yes, the system can be booted from an SD (or SDHC) card. Or from USB, or from the m-SATA. All of these require proper preparation of the requisite ‘disk’ (-like device). Jim On Aug 27, 2014, at 9:21 AM, Ryan Coleman ryanjc...@me.com wrote: I understand *that* however it doesn't say on

Ryan, I’m not sure what you’re asking. This thread started off with Sergii Cherkashyn asking if running on an SSD was advisable. Obviously, it works, or we wouldn’t offer it. (The thread Sergii pointed-to is from early 2011. Netgate did not ship SSDs for several years because the reliability

If I may... I think Ryan is confused about the usb part. The SD slot is a onboard slot but its not connnected/wired to IDE/SATA bus, but rather it is connected to the USB bus just as a external usb card reader would be, but offcource its onboard and hardwired. Thus the confusion I assume. 27.

SD cards are storage, but not “disks” nor “drives”. Beyond m-SATA, eMMC is your best option. Not only are they faster than SD cards (speeds of the larger devices rival those of traditional SSDs, as well as supporting a “TRIM”-like operation, priority interruptible READ and ERASE operations,
