Amiga, CF, and SSD

[ZeBeeDee]

IDE SSD's can be found here

Straight forward drop-in replacements ... a very good alternative to CF cards and interfaces.

For the past 2 months, I've been using one of the 256mb units partitioned as Workbench: and Work: and thus far cannot fault it. The loading speed is excellent with ver3.1 Workbench loading just a shade faster (by my reckoning) than the same using a CF card setup.

At the end of the day, the real mitigating points is setup time & cost.

A CF card setup can be a right pain in the butt to get working but cheap to buy the parts, whereas - The SSD isn't cheap compared to the CF setup but oh so easy - just prep and format like a standard HHD.

IMHO whatever way you wish to go ... it's a winner!  :-)

It was detected as a CF harddrive from 2007 (all info about CF was read properly). (Installation from floppy disc, starting from "Install Disc" .

Now that's what I like to see (on with the asbestos underwear - it might get a bit fiery here soon lol) ... somebody who actually reads the manual  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

It's not the speed, it's what you do with it that counts  :-D
