Here is a good article: http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531 I don't know if there are any good ways to avoid this, most forums seem to recommend avoid writing on those, also IIRC there is one or two filesystems developed which tries to collect writes and handle them better. As I don't have any of those devices myself I havn't looked into how to fix that problem. (I have a OCZ Vertex though, but havn't tried Haiku on it yet.) /Fredrik Holmqvist, TQH
