Okay, thanks.

The "static wear leveling" is not absolutely true. OMV can reduce writing to flash memory to a minimum by using tempfs and various other tricks. But that may require more than 256 MiB RAM.
And a question becomes how much you care.

The boot drive on my desktop is a 240GB SSD. The OS and programs I run live on it. Data is on a SATA HD. Like most consumer applications of the tech, the device is read from far more than it is written to. I expect to replace the entire machine long before the drive shows perceptible signs of wear, so write endurance simply isn't a concern.

I run OMV with the root fs on micro SD cards. Except for one that has / on a SSD and another on a SSHD. Nice for running docker containers like Emby. About to try to put both Emby and NextCloud on the SSHD one. It may be a birthday gift to a relative. It seems that NextCloud has a plugin for reading ebooks on the NAS in a browser window. Curious...


Reading eBooks on the NAS in a browser window is not something I'd do, but the fact that someone created a plugin for it is fascinating.
