I'm developing an asterisk based PBX on a TRASCEND DOM (ssd).

At boot all seems slow, but since Linux kernels use higly buffered
read/write operations, i will not have problems at all.

But, consider to:

1. Use many many RAM. Astersik use few RAM but huge RAM is needed for
disk buffers.
2. Screw the system and avoid all unnecessary writes on disk: logs,
db, recordings, etc.
3. Do NOT use a journaled filesystem: i use ext2
3. Avoid swap (see 1)

Bye.
