It depends on the use case scenario. FWIW, I am using a customized desktop image of Debian on 4GB pen drives (USB2.0) as a "diskless" solution from my Intel ATOM/AMD E-350 boards (RAM 1 to 2 GB). From power ON, the systems boot to KDM login screen in about 50 secs. SATA DoM (Disk on Module) is another option, you get the benefit of SATA speeds. IMO, given the price points of SSD v/s USB pen drives [a], SSD is an overkill for the average user. [a] SSDs are not cheap in India whereas a branded 4GB pen drive is less than USD 4. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
