The reason I'm using an SSD on my Raspberry Pi isn't about performance, it's about building a small, power efficient, server. My LMS server of 10 years ago, used 4 hard disks, in a RAID 5 array, with big fans, in a big box. Consumed a lot of power, generated a fair amount of noise, helped heat my electronics tinkering room, but was rock solid and reliable. Still working now!
I'm hoping to get the same sort of rock solid performance, over a reasonable lifetime, but a bit more green! So less power = less heat. Maybe I'm being paranoid about LMS's use of the cache, and wear cycles on an SSD, but that's what I'm asking about! I don't know how often the cache is flushed, or even what it's used for! Just because I got a really good price on a 1Tb SSD, doesn't mean I want to throw it away too soon... And if you think I'm worrying about a total non-issue, I'm happy to hear that to! I have almost no experience with flash drives beyond the little usb thumb drives.... Cheers, and thanks for all the comments/suggestions!
