Re: Added a new section in SWAP page
Hi nTia89,
ADVANTAGES
access time is slower than traditional HD
by "slower" did you mean "lower" ?
as for the idea of swap over usb flash drive - well i do not really like it somehow, but that is just me 
.
avoid power on HD when is in stand-by
well that is true, but never the less there are several more things that wake it up ( example - logs ) .
USB are cheaper than HD
If you refer to space ( GiB/USD ) it is not true
That is only my oppinion, anyway thanks for effort

Done.
Also isn't "* access time is slower than traditional HD" a bad thing?

Re: Added a new section in SWAP page
yes, i meant lower:
lower access time -> HD is slower than USB in access
