Thanks for the info Dillon on the pfs naming convention and idea about mirror stream. Since you recommended SSDs before I tried to get them from vendors I know but most of them haven't even heard about it ( I am from Kerala, India ). Will a USB Flash drive serve the same purpose? Something like. http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sa/sandisk-2gb-cruzer-micro-u3-usb-flash-drive.jpg Are they as reliable as the SATA SSD you mentioned. it is available with the vendors ( 8GB ) thanks --Siju
