CF card as cheap harddisk isn't dream

[sweetlilmre]

Hi,

AFAIK wear-levelling algorithms implemented in either software (one of the new Linux kernel MT drivers has such an algorithm if I'm not mistaken) or the controller, can extend the life of NAND cards significantly.

The CF card actually has a mini IDE controller in it, which performs wear-levelling. Combining this with up to 1000000 max write cycles means that CF can last for ages (actually I just read that 'industrial' CF can do 2mil + cycles now!).

Will this work with my A4000T?
Is it good enough or should I get better stuff, if so what?

If the 4000T has an IDE interface, it should. There are also ones for 2.5" IDE (A1200/600). I've seen a few with both 3.5" and 2.5" IDE connectors for under $20US.

Ive read some stuff saying that CF cards have a write cycle lifespan of 100000 (hundred thousand) rather than 1000000 (million)... if its really a million or two, that sounds worthwhile. I havent done it since I'd read 100000, which is fine for something like a camera but would suck on a computer.

look at his profile, it has the same address as the links he posted in Chin-girsh above.

While it may be a subject we can all chime in about, it is still unsolicited marketing, IE SPAM!!!
