This is useful because what kills USB thumb drives is the massive amount of logging that OMV does; it's constantly writing to disk for log files and that number of writes just kills USB flash drives. With the logging stored to RAM disk, then transferred at intervals, you can get quite a lot of life out of USB boot media.

Might be better than using a flash drive. I had the same server and ran OMV for a couple years. -I really don't see an added benefit using an SSD for your OS. I ran OMV off a portable usb drive and response times were fine -The OS itself doesn't take up much space at all.
