      I ordered a apu2c4 and would like to know should I install pfsense on a msata ssd or should I install it on something else like a flash card or a usb stick ?

      I was reading ( https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=34381.0 ) about SSD's going bad fast because of the writing of a lot of log files so I want to make sure that I don't have this problem.
      Should I install NanoBSD and since its nano is it slower or have any limitations ?

      Thanks for reading and for any help.

        Good lord I wish someone would nuke that thread. It was true with some older SSD's but no longer applies. Just make sure trim is enabled and be done with it.

          No, you most certainly should not install nanobsd, it's going away with 2.4 anyway.
