HD vs SSD

[Iggy]

You'll find fewer things that will make your computer, whatever make or model, faster and more responsive than an SSD.

I'd have to side with Magnetic on this.
I purchased a couple of used Ultra320 SCSI drives and a 64bit PCI controller. Running these in RAID is about as fast (or faster) then two WD Raptor SATA drives in RAID.

SSDs don't offer a significant improvement over this an they are expensive.

Hi,

OK my fault,

What in the hello world is an Amigaone 500, did I miss something in the past. I thought the Amigaone was done, gone through.

Will someone please enlighten me.

Is he asking for an Amigaone, or an Amiga 500

I am now so confuzed.

My apoligize to anyone I flamed. I mean if you can't take a joke, you shouldn't be hanging out with us loonies.

No Smerf, the Amigaone designation is used for the X1000 and on Acube 's pre-built systems.
If I'm not mistaken that what he's referring to by Amigaone 500.

And don't worry, we're used to being flamed by you. Its part of your charm.

What you and the rest of the legacy crowd don't get is we PPC users don't care if you think we're using "Real" Amigas.
Hey, at least its not an X86 PC.
And Hyperion's OS4 is based on Amiga OS 3.1.

BTW - Since you can get a FastATA controller for the Amiga, I don't see why you couldn't use an ATA SSD.

I have a FastATA MK IV in my 1200D with a dual port IDE to SATA converter. I use a 60 gig OCZ SSD.

Anyway, for smaller files, it performs up to 2x faster than CF or a regular IDE HD.

Thought that would work good.
Gotta be a big improvement over a standard hard drive on an Amiga.

not SCSI speed but its better than stock

I imagine its quite a bit better then stock.
Its silly to compare an Amiga interfaced storage system with a 64 bit 133MHZ PCI interfaced 15,000 rpm hard drive array.
But its nice to know that there are options for the Amiga.
