Emailing this again because I forgot to CC the mailinglist.... Freenet's usage pattern does not lend itself to flash SSDs or SD cards due to the large number of small, random access writes. Freenet is extremely hard on disks, many a regular hard drive has succumbed to it. It *will* wear any flash device out much quicker than normally a user would. That being said, a very conservative node, configured to use only a few max peers and a small datastore, logging turned completely off, only used for small downloads, browsing and inserting a few small files (for example a thumb drive you could take with you somewhere, post a blog or upload some important document and go back offline shortly thereafter) "might" be feasible. You would want to use one with fast specifications and don't expect too much... If you try this, let us know how it works out. -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire Those who would give up Liberty, to purchase temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Ben Franklin _______________________________________________ chat mailing list chat@freenetproject.org Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:chat-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
