I'm now doing quite a lot of compilation on my Chromebook and my Trim Slice. It's OK, provided that two processes don't try to hit the disk at the same time, at which point everything grinds to a halt.
I'm using cheap SanDisk cards in both (not exactly sure of the model, but they're the cheapest branded ones).
Question is, would I be better to:
- Use cards such as the "SanDisk Extreme Pro" http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005LFT3QG (Does it make a difference, or is it designed to separate me from my hard-earned money?)
- Try again with using network drive, eg. iSCSI? NFS? NBD? gluster ..? (Note: the Chromebook kernel doesn't support NFS)
- Is there a good performing network device which is less horrible to configure than iSCSI?
Rich.
