Of course, I mean no disrespect to the machines :) I know they are fully functional - there's really no difference once you get a full kernel to boot on them. But you'll agree that there's not much file system traffic on a network router (with the services you listed). I'm interested in how SSD could help me (if they actually can) with large-ish systems running web servers with associated software (e.g. database) and office-like servers. So far, I'm having trouble envisioning a seek-intensive storage application that's also temporary (to avoid keeping the "real" data on flash drives). Maybe a mail server queue, with mailboxes on standard drives?
