I just got it for myself... week ago :). Much better idea then CF memory, since it is REAL SSD... we will never use its speed but mSATA SSD are super cheap for it size comparing CF memory.

No TRIM support right?

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 :)

As stated though it's tough to see the benefit if it can never be faster than a CF.


Cheaper and more popular. Today CF cards getting quite expensive and not very popular (kind of...). On the other hand, who needs more for Amiga then 8Gb ;)

Store audio perhaps? I have 100 GB of flac audio. Other people may store video, or photos, or cd iso images. :)


...but then you can use 1TB regular HDD for storage... :) BTW. What is maximum HDD size Amiga can use?
