CF Card - Which one to buy?

[Nlandas]

Hello,

I have been looking to buy a CF card for over two weeks now. However I really cannot understand which one to chose. I tried following the advise I got from here, by trying to find a list of Amiga compatible CF cards and also by checking the specifications of different CF cards. However I never found what I was looking for.

I was wondering if people could just post the brand and type of the CF card they use.

Also does anyone know if this CF card is Amiga compatible.

I'm just curious myself as well. CF seems to be a neat way to go for Amiga hard drive replacement. Since we don't need 1TB drives. So what about actually using a CF as a hard drive. Don't they wear out based on a maximum number of read/write cycles?

Wouldn't an industrial card last longer for this type of use?

or

Wouldn't it also be more if the CF-IDE adapter was Amiga compatible and then the card was compatible with that CF-IDE adapter?

I've got a few old Iomega 64MB CompactFlash cards - free to good homes for the cost of shipping. I can't test them. Take two the're small.
