You're right, but in my case it's the embedded "install" (actually a dd write to the USB flash device), which lets the system run entirely in RAM, so the boot disk is never written except when upgrading the system or when the user modifies then saves the configuration, which usually after the first install happens rarely.
This makes the NAS less versatile as I can't install lots of extensions, but the included ones are more than enough for me.
Yes, I know more RAM would help a lot; unfortunately I have no way to expand it, save for moving to bigger faster platforms which then would cost more in energy as I keep it on 24/7. The system however appears to use just about 50% of the available RAM and is very snappy for my purposes.
