Maybe I wasn't clear: my idea was to use Compact flash or SD card adapter to replace internal mac mini hard drive .
Huh? mac mini hard drive in an efika?
My understanding is these would be faster than 5400rpm hard drive;the Ultra III 4GB Compact Flash card I have states 30MB transfer rate.
i have order both CompactFlash and SDHC card adapters to 44 pin ide to try.
For efika I'm not sure those 30MB/s will help much, I think we're still dealing with PIO transfers on that, but of course seeks will be faster. And if you meant to post this in a mini thread, the HDD (5400 rpm) in my mini handles twice that transfer rate.
