Have you tried one of these cheap SSD's on a Raspberry Pi2 OpenMediaVault installation?

Better than using an SDCard?

Edit>> I should add the reason I'm asking...
According to this test http://www.mikronauts.com/rasp…-drive-and-adapter-tests/ the speed of a Raspberry Pi2 USB/SATA is limited to around 30MB/s so a PC "performance" SSD seems to be an overkill.

Using a SSD as boot drive for a Raspi is certainly an overkill and it defeats the whole purpose of such a platform: the best bang for the bucks! True, read/write values for the SSD may be higher, but I doubt that a SSD will bring noticeable performance improvements to the Raspi in real life usage when compared to a good SD card.

In the other hand, those chinese SSDs are sort of a russian roulette. I bought 2 SSDs, one worked good for several months (and keeps working), the other one died after 3 days. And forget about the warranty! If you want the SSD way, get one from a known brand. But then the SSD costs more than the Raspi.

I just bought one of those and have been running for about 2 weeks now. Seems to perform alittle better than the USB Drive I was using: Have a look at the post here: HP Proliant Servers
