I used to have an csppc,  did not use the ppc side that often  and got fed up with old scsi disks and scsi to ide/sata converters so I bought myself a fast ata 4000 for my 3000T

I went from about 30mb/s to 6-7mb/s
Can't say I notice any difference on day to day use but when I transfer big files there ofc will be a slowdown and I miss my ppc a bit.

The fast ata is a very nice card and it's easy to setup and get working.
Sure it drains a bit of CPU but it ain't like the system can't be used while you are transferring files.

If you are like me and tired of those old and loud scsi drives and want an ide/sata configuration with Maby an ssd drive or any thing I would say go for it.

I use a samsung pro 850 ssd on my CSPPC with the addonics scsi to sata bridge, its fast,quiet and has all the storage i could ever want. I cant believe you gave a csppc up.My combo does just around 35MB/s :crazy:


The only time I needed the transfer speed was when I was showing ppl benchmark pictures and transferring very large files and I did the first more then the second so for a price of 1200Eu I let it go to a new home.

Was not a hard decision for me.

Now I use a MKII@72mhz CV64/vario/delfina/x-surf/fastata in my 3000T and I feel that I'm "done"  when it comes to expanding.
