I run current/amd64 on this Atom-based box (see dmesg below)
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-di510mo.html
The system is installed onto a 16GB SDHC Sandisk card
which is plugged into this cardreader
http://www.hwtools.net/cardreader/MR04.html
which is plugged into the PCI-e socket of the board.
That leaves the two SATA connections to be used
by two big SATA disks for data and backup.
I am generally happy with it, but occasionally it gets slow,
e.g. with a handful of firefox tabs. I see a lot of disk
activity on the sd2 disk (the system disk), where $HOME is.
It akes me think that my system would be generally more
responsive if this was faster.
Does anybody use a PCI-e SSD successfully. Like e.g. this one?

Do people use any other kind of storage successfully
in the PCI-e socketof this board?
