[c-nsp] 4G 4rd party flash drive for XR-12k

[Mikael Abrahamsson]

Hello.

Flash drives for XR on Cisco 12000 are quite expensive if bought from 
Cisco. XR writes a lot to the drive so thus there are other requirements 
than for running IOS which basically never writes to the drive at all.

What do people do out there? I found some industrial grade flash such as 
<http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd/listcat.asp?catid=icf8000> which has 2M 
program/erase cycles, which seems a lot and I would hope be sufficient.

Any other hints in this area? I'd like them to survive several years in 
normal operation...
