So, I am working on gathering the parts to build a Router. It will most likely run ClearOS. I have selected the Gigabyte H77 Wifi board since it has 2 Gigabit NICs and the wifi is a bonus.
What I am curious is, can I safely use an SSD for the OS drive or will processing the network traffic thrash the drive? I have selected 4GB of 1333 DDR3 RAM as well as an Intel Celeron G530 CPU. I want this router to be light and fast on it's feet. It will be connected to a Gigabit Switch to handle any other devices I connect to the network.
