There is no such thing as a free lunch. What the articles, including the
./ article, fail to mention is the number of write
cycles on flash memory. You can only do a limited number of writes to
flash memory, and then you no longer have
flash memory. Admittedly, that number is in the hundreds of thousand
range, but it is still significantly less than the
average life of a hard drive.
For installing products including operating systems AS LONG AS you keep
temporary files including swap off of it, it
will probably be great. But do not put your Firefox temp directory or your
swap file on one or you will not have it
quickly.
