If you want to kill an SSD as fast as possible, install something which does lots of frequent tiny writes, like a logging application.

The fact that the mini computers only use 18 watts of power would also be helpful, since this is meant to be an always on appliance. If I buy such a computer I am taking a gamble. I guess I am OK with that. I can always go back to the Belkin router. The last quote is certainly appropriate.

You're not taking a gamble -- you're taking the path of maximum resistance. This mini computer can do what you want -- eventually -- once you've figured out exactly what you want and how to do it.

That figuring out is something that's so much easier to do on a real computer. Even if you want to use the mini computer eventually, if you build it on a real computer first, you'll save yourself a huge amount of time.
