Depends on the drive. They all have a write limit but I would suppose if you arent logging to the drive or doing much else other than reading from it, it should be okay.

Hi, We just bought a couple HP ML 350 Servers, but Mikrotik RouterOS doesnt have the Smart Array Controller Driver. As its a new server, it dosnt have any IDE or Legacy Sata, just an internal USB Connetor. So i installed RouterOS on it and its running and i´m doing some tests. But i´m a little concerned about the usb thumb stick reliability ( kingston 4gigs). What´s your experience running Mikrotik or Quagga or any linux routing software flavor in an USB Thumb?
