SCSI to SATA bridge... SSD drive pros/cons?

[matt3k]

Congrats again on the snag, I'm jealous just missed out

Like all are saying SSD's are just fine in Amiga's.  The only issue I have found with my warp engine 3040 SCSI, is that it flat out refuses to work with the acard SATA to SCSI bridge.  It works just fine on the 3000 SCSI though.  

The cheapest and easiest way for you to go is to purchase a Legacy IDE SSD from OWC.  You can just put it in and your off.  Plus is the adapter is working, it should work with a different drive.  The OWC's auto trim and are a nice drive.

hey all,
just got hold of a Mk3 Cyberstorm that will soon be nestled in the belly of my A3000D after a quick Int2 motherboard mod...
currently got an Acard scsi2ide bridge off the onboard scsi controller with a Compact flash adapter and 4GB card acting as the main drive.

now, with the widescsi controller on the Mk3, would it be best to use one of the 146GB wide scsi drives i've been keeping for the time when i can use them, or in the interest of quiet computing, get an ultawide scsi to sata bridge and use one of the 160GB Intel 320 SSD's i've got laying around?

any issues running an SSD on an amiga, given the lack of clever commands and things that seem to be needed to manage an SSD drive? trim command, wear leveling, delete on inactive, page purges and yadda yadda...

cheers all happy non denominational holidays

We shall see if it works out.  

Track down a Legacy Mecury IDE SSD, when you have a few extra bucks.  

Enjoy the system.

Happy Easter,

Matt

No Worries Matt,
Hope yours comes through. I smiled when I saw where yours could possibly be coming from. hope it all works out.

I've upgraded from a Commodore A3640 card, but with only 1Meg zip ram on the mainboard, it isn't long before it's using the fast ram on the Zorro. and man could you feel it.
The Mk3 has kinda of re-envigorated my "can I use an amiga as my main machine again" idea. however, my wife's had a word about my recent purchase, so a wide scsi to Sata adapter is going to be on hold till we have a review of our finances

the compact flash, adapter, and acard scsi bridge I've got on the onboard scsi is still  seemingly pretty rapid. so i'll stick with that ... for the time being...

Cheers,
Andy
