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.
