Solid state hard drives and the Amiga?

[djbase]

I have a Transcend 32GB SSD in my Amiga 1200 on B1260 SCSI Kit and get 9 MB/s (thats nearly the max. of that SCSI Kit). So in my case it is very useful. Not cheap but useful.

Well said.  I always find it wasteful putting a newer IDE hard disk in Amiga, or any SCSI3 or SCA drives in Amiga, b/c the speed is never utilized.  Nothing cool in that.

Well, yes and no. Of course you won't reach the max. data throughput of the drives but flash drives will beat every mechanical drive at access time. Also they run cooler and without any noise. So with a flash drive (like SSD, CF,...) you will get some nice advantages.

How much did that end up costing you?

I paid 75 Euro for the 32GB SSD.
