I use a 750 GB Evo - mainly so there’s lots of over-provisioning as builds create a lot of artefacts. Better wear than some HDDs though as the heads get a really hammering. > 16GB is no doubt absolutely fine in general.

Sure, it will depend on what’s being built - this machine is quite old now and 16 GB needed a (not so) small mortgage when it was built ;-) > > Cheers! > > Alex > -- Chris Tapp opensou...@keylevel.com www.keylevel.com ---- You can tell you're getting older when your car insurance gets real cheap! -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
