One question is left: what are the specs of the CF card you are using. I was about to buy a cheapo A-Data 'speedy' 16GB card (their speedy brand is actually the slowest card they have), and then somebody on the rockbox forums told us that the card works but is very sloooow.
So what are the read/write figures of your card and how does that relate to the real-life performance (compared to HDD operation for example).
Hey Petur,
Does the speed have any adverse effect from a taper's point of view?!
If it simply affects boot time and transfer to/from PC, it's not a big problem from a taping perspective. But maybe there are other downsides that I neglected?!
/J
and what are the benefits to doing this?
I mean, it's really cool and all, and yeah, I like to mod
stuff "just because I can.." but if my H120 is working
fine, why would I want to do this?
(quite another thing if my HD is dead, def go solid state)
thanks, and apologies in advance for my ignorance....
