If I am satisfied with my disk speed, why would I want to use system memory? What are the specific use cases where this is warranted?

- techjamie 1y agoTechnically it'll have some impact on the number of write cycles your disk goes through, and marginally reduce the level of wear. Most disks have a lot of write cycles available that you'll be fine anyway, but it's a tiny benefit.
- margalabargala 1y agoComputers like a Raspberry Pi, where the OS is on a sdcard, will hugely benefit.
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoYup. There's lots of advice about how to reduce cycle count, increase lifetime of sd cards out there. This post has a bunch of ideas, and tmpfs is definitely on the list. https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/186/32611 https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/186/32611
