[App_rpt-users] Hard Disk Options

[ke6sth at ke6sth.ampr.org]

Yikes! Thats what my repeater is running. I am using a 16GB CF card as my 
HDD been working greate. It does not do much disk activty since its just a 
repeater. I hope my D510 does not melt down like Jim stated.

I've managed to snag a decent intel atom D510 board and 4gb of ram for it as well as a direct 12v power supply. Now we are wondering about a hard drive option, USB Flash Drive, CF Card Solution, SSD mini-PCI card, what would you suggest for the longest life and least amount of headaches? I plan on running as much of the filespaces in a ramdrive that I can to reduce access to the SSD device.
