The CSMK3 is awesome for SCSI :). Small-mid sized 68pin ultra SCSI hard drives aren't that expensive. I bought a Maxtor Atlas 15k RPM 16GB hard drive (claimed to be new) off E-bay several years ago for $10 and get sustained 30MB/s transfers. It doesn't get hot on the Amiga where it's not thrashed to death like Windows hard drives. I got crashes on boot with SFS but switched to PFS with TD64 and it's been reliable (and fast) since. Don't overlook the simple, cheap and reliable option. An SSD has several advantages for a laptop but it's advantages are not so overwhelming for a desktop/tower.
