Swap HD for CF setup?
« on: July 31, 2011, 12:28:59 PM »
My A1200 uses an old, very loud (but working) 4Gb hard drive and I am considering swapping for a CF setup. My IDE interface is the Power Flyer Gold. I can't remember the original manufacturer name for it, but mine came from Power Computing.

Questions: Is it as quick? Will it be compatible with the Flyer? Is it worth the bother or should I just put up with the noise and leave the old HDD in there?

Thanks! :)

I need to make a sig of my spec, but yes, it is in a tower case.

Is there any worry about card life? I know these things don't last forever, but don't know how that compares with a hard drive.
