I can't speak to tablets specifically. But there is danger running
postgres on 'cheap' SSD: they are not designed to accommodate a lot of
write activity. This means you typically have some or all of the
following issues:
*) non durable writes
*) extremely slow fsync times
*) very rapid media wear
I would probably want to mount the database volume on external storage.
