Amiga 1200 SSD HD

[bbond007]

Right now I'm running my A1200 with a 4GB CF card with adapter.

ClassicWB ADV/3.1.

Thanks to the Subway USB controller and the wireless card, the 4GB is full of MODS, whdload games and other apps. Oh, Also my 400mb shapeshifter mac partition.  And I have more to load - I'm not done.

Anyway, I was considering redoing the entire thing with a larger CF card, but then I thought about a PATA SSD HD as it won't wear out. I ordered a KingSpec 2.5" 32 GB PATA SSD..

"8years @100GBytes write and erase per day at 32GB"

So, my question, what is the best way to format this as far as OS, partitions, filesystems, etc? I do have a legit copy of 3.9(and 3.5), but right now I just run 3.1 because I just have an 030/40.

thanks,

SSDs use the same flash memory as CF cards and USB memory sticks, so I don't think they wear out less fast than CF cards.



Check other threads in this forum about using disks larger than 4GB. It's dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Write endurance   80years@10GBytes write and erase per day at 32GB <-- that is way better than CF..

I ordered this IDE adapter for Amigakit. I'm going to try the included IDEFix software to see if I can gain access to all 32GB.

Also I have acquired a IDE->SATA adapter and SATA external header. That will allow me to connect any cheap external CD-ROM or HD to my A1200.

I suppose I better figure out what I'm doing... I'm sure I will after corrupting the SSD several times.
