This will only be as fast as the IDE port = not any faster than a CF to IDE & no Trim support or Leveling if I am not mistaken.

Why would you care about it? I just got 32Gb SSD like this and you know how long it will take me to use it?

TRIM only helps when you to get maximum speed from SSD, in Amiga environment you can get about 1Mb/s or 8Mb/s (I've never seen faster... in my own eyes). So, who cares SSD will have to delete AND write info on this SDD at the same time.

BTW. I was using mSATA SSD with my iBookG4 for about 2 years (much, much more data written/deleted) and I did not noticed any speed deterioration. I would not worry about TRIM for Amiga :)


A good point. SSD's will slow if not managed correctly but will never get slow enough to be slower than the IDE. Not even close
