Not sure that’s relevant, but I’m playing around with Linux on some obsolete Windows tablets with cheap eMMC disks (one of which is broken, so I replaced it with a no name microSD card, plus USB drive), and I format my disks to f2fs, which theoretically should help with both keeping the disks for longer, and accessing the data faster.

    Make sure you're actually filling the volume, and also keep in mind reporting may be different (with or without filesystem index metadata, etc)

    Also, you can simply use regular file systems and compressed files, and then use a RAM drive (assuming you have enough RAM free) and access the files that way instead

    RAM drive is when you hold the entire file system in RAM, it's used for stuff like Linux Live CD boot with no writable storage but you can use it for anything.
