So I did a non-scientific test on my Raspberry Pi at home with a 4G card that has typically been my 'move an .iso around' it is a 'class 10' card from Microcenter Warehouse. Using this perl program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $letters = "ABCEDEGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-";
my $range = length $letters;
while (1) {
foreach (1..16) {
my $nm = "A";
foreach (1 .. 15) {
$nm .= substr($letters, rand($range), 1);
}
open(my $fh, ">", "$nm.delete-me");
foreach (1 .. 128) {
$nm .= substr($letters, rand($range), 1);
}
print $fh "$nm\n";
close $fh;
}
`sync`;
`rm *delete-me`;
}
Killed it dead in 3 hrs 18 minutes. Your mileage may vary.
Nice work, thanks. I can see now how the cloud will be important with these small devices. I wonder how OUYA (and similar devices) is going to manage data and what the lifetime of the storage will be.
May not be 'first hand' enough though.
