How about a Turbo Memory card? The support on Windows seems terrible, but under Linux, it would show up as superfast 1GB or 2GB flash drive.
I haven't tried it myself, but I am (loosely) planing to.
how fast is a turbo memory card? Is it daster than modern ssds in a mpcie adaptor?
Not sure about the exact speed, but it's a NAND on a PCIE x1
I was looking at that myself. Some ThinkPad forum posts seem to suggest it only helps if you don't have an SSD.
If it actually functions as a secondary drive that's incredibly fast that would be a neat novelty.
I've seen something similar. What I gotten from that is the fact above only applies when you're using it as an accelerator (as intended).
Yes, it would function as a drive, at least under Linux.
Once again, I haven't actually used this thing..
