How long does it take to startup DMD client? (loading blockchain etc), windows client takes several minutes to load from coldstart. Not talking syncing just loading, from SD card must be quite slow ...
startup deepens mostly on hdd access time speed (lot small pieces)
on my pc startup take below 1 min
and i expect the raspberry to beat any normal hdd a lot too because if u use a nice high performance
micro-sd SDHC (i use a 64 gb) it beat any hdd in access times special of lot small pieces like startup of a crypto wallet needs
so the magic solution is SSD if u want fast startup and a SDHC deliver nearly same boost because it have fast access times too
here a statement of a tech review:
SDHC cards have extremely fast access times that even rival expensive SSD storage drives. On the other hand, data transfer (read/write) times are quite slow … even by slow hard drive standards.
i can give ya startup times once i finished sync the chain
i run here a sync from zero to test that too
