We ran a PowerRouter for the MikroTik User Manager. The SATA SSD proved
unreliable, not sure if it was a problem with the SATA interface, the SSD or
what, but it ate our database a couple times (not cool). We ran the database of
the onboard flash for a while before moving the ROS within a proper VMWare
cluster.
Unless you're storing a DB, cache, or lots of logs, you probably don't need the
SATA drive.
