Not writing to drive very much, plus the failure rate is still higher than a HDD. I built that system before the SSD prices dropped below $100. Ed Sent from my iPad On Dec 7, 2011, at 9:58 AM, "Scott Weis" <kb2ear@kb2ear.net> wrote:
The only problem with CF cards Is that they are not set up for the read/write cycles. They are typically slower and they will fail much sooner than an SSD.

I use an IDE to CF adaptor, with a 4GB CF card. I tried a 2GB, but that was not large enough for the build, lots of errors. I have been running this my box for the local club for over a year without any problems. Less moving parts also. This method is cheaper than the SSD drives on the market, about $30 is what I spent.
