You could plug in a USB SSD or HDD and make sure the DB and other regularly written data goes there. That would pretty much remove the problem.

I would wonder how well it would perform. The limited memory and cpu power surely would make database access not great under even moderate load.

This was one of the arguments I posed to people I know that wanted to leave. That we'd never get a deal as good as we had.

No-one on that side would listen at the time.
