I use a USB3 stick on a frontend... 8GB is big enough for a mythbuntu 
install. I have not measured it, but it's fast enough for my 
requirements, and it was the cheapest solid state solution I could find.

I was worried about booting from USB3, so instead of trying, I also put 
a USB2 stick for /boot on that frontend, no harddisk.
