CF PCMCIA card is way faster than my HD
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:02:34 PM »
I don't have a numbers right now to quote but after running speed test last night on sysinfo,
I found that my CF PCMCIA card was seriously faster than my HD which is a FLASH module like:



Can that be? Take into account they are also different file systems (FAT16 vs FFS) But, sysinfo would not care about that would it?
We all know that the PC-slot is 16bits, but the IDE on a A1200 is 16 bits too? Or 32?

I guess the flash drive is designed to work best with high-speed UDMA controllers and not with an ancient not-even-pio-0 controller.



The IDE reports 1,226,882 bytes per sec
The CF0 reports 1,975,959 bytes per sec (seen it go to 2M)

I got curious just because I could tell a difference open thing up from CF0:
