There was another post here about running Qubes-VMs from a second encrypted SSD hmm… and then wiping that partition? Seems better than the RAM based approach which to me is overkill.
This thread is about the RAM-based approach. Its goals are:
- to reduce the unnecessary SSD writes of disposable data
- faster r/w inside the RAM-based VM
Writing to SSD and “wiping” the written data is:
- impossible due to how SSD hardware works and doubles SSD writes (an actual overkill)
- much slower than r/w to RAM
=> opposite to the goal.
