Flash would be lower latency but spinning rust would have higher capacity, which would be nice for, say, caching the month’s Windows updates.

Me being me, one of these days I intend to create a Squid server with a ginormous ramdisk and see how that runs. The question is whether 24 or so GB is large enough to be useful, but it probably would be.

It may be based on common interests, or common geography. My question is whether caching like that would like some storage (SSD preferable, massive slow hard drive possible). That funny YouTube video would already be available, or that news story, or the on-line restaurant menu. Interesting.
