[asterisk-users] Flash IDE

[Bill Seddon]

Does it have to be a flash device?  I have an 8GB "flash" drive that is
really a small hard disk that plugs into and is powered by a USB port.
The device is 3cmx3cmx0.5cm, silent, fast and wears out like a hard disk
not flash memory.  It doesn't stick out (and so get knocked off) because
the USB connecter is hinged.  Something like this might be better for
your (though more expensive).

 

On the other hand, flash devices able to accommodate the needs of
Asterisk cost almost nothing.  Why not use two devices one that is
updated in real-time and that is backed up periodically (say overnight).
If one begins to fail then you can switch over the periodic back up and
used a new device for backup.

Fine.. I though about that too but what about:
 
- if power fails?
- how/when to write changes to DOM?

Yeah, the trouble is that device we bough do not have space for HDs.. :)
