is it that much to gain in acsess advantages.thought this had everything to do with the ide conroller most 1.8" hds is around 15 ms witch is not to bad .I can see that CF cards would be ideal for transfers between amigas as long as switched off but have to try it out personally to see if the acsess time is as good as you say..ahh and you must love the silence.. :-D
