[QUOTE="giantjoebot, post: 153247, member: 26289"] Well I don't know, thats why I'm asking. When I was reading the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory"]wiki [/URL] it said "The endurance of NAND flash is much greater than that of NOR flash (typically 1,000,000 cycles vs. 100,000 cycles)" which is twice what you stated. I do have a 40GB 4200rpm laptop drive in an external USB enclosure that I guess that I could use. It would be really easy to mount it inside the case, and connect it directly to the USB headers on the motherboard. There are a couple of spots where I could fit another drive, but they are in places such as the floppy drive bay where the drive would be enclosed on all sides but one, and no fans blowing on it. I also have a 40GB maxtor that runs really hot, and a 80GB maxtor extra right now. I guess if I put one of those in the floppy bay, and got a USB to IDE adapter that would work, but I'm worried that the drive would fail due to heat. [/QUOTE]
