[GRLUG] Best Local SAN performance

[Grand Rapids Linux Users Group]

Never trust a thumb drive, particularly for something Production.  Smaller
SSDs are cheap enough these days.

The first gen Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 3 Lite had thumb drive inside too.  Had
one of those die on me once.  Opened it and replaced it, but never put it
back into Prod.
