+-le 14/12/2005 17:45 +0100, Alexandre DELAY =E9crivait : | Don't you think that flash drives are also a good solution? |=20 | I am sure that it will be the future replacement for hard drive disks. | see http://www.memtech.com/ for example |=20 | With no buffer and 1ms access delay you minimise write failures. It is an | interresting solution. Hum, flash has a *limited* ammount of possible write for each cell, for low cost, it's between 10K-50K and for heavy duty, industrial grade, bla bla bla, it's around 2M, so, hum, just imagine you have a solid state flash disk, and your swap on it. One day, your box begins swapping hard, and some time later, half of your drive can't be written to again... --=20 Mathieu Arnold
