CF vs. SD
« on: April 12, 2017, 10:59:55 PM »
So, I've got my A2000 running pretty smoothly with a generic IDE CF adapter with a SCSI to IDE bridge configuration and decided I needed some sort of backup system and picked the SCSI2SD board.

Well, it got in and now I'm wondering which would be best as my primary "hard drive" and which would best serve as the backup.

How much speed am I losing by having the CF adapter running through the bridge as opposed to the SCSI2SD?

Is it even enough to be noticeable?

Well, didn't do any stop watch or benchmark tests, but after trying things it seems the SCSI2SD is just a bit faster so will probably go with that as my primary and rig the CF with the ACard 7720 adapter as my backup.

Now to get something rigged up for the mounting.  Durham makes a nice front plate, but the danged thing doesn't have any mounting holes!  What were they thinking?  Just going to let it flop around in the case?

Oh well, the mad hacker strikes again!
