A couple of things worthy of note. I've had several people ask me in various places if I'm worried about the lifespan of my new device.
Not really:
Add to that AMD's new technology, hyperflash. Using a Flash/NAND device as a cache buffer.

No announcement yet.

It looks like we will be doing a comparison with a CF converter at Phoronix shortly. Just waiting on the CF card(s) to arrive.

Where did you buy your CF converter from? Can you point me to the webstore? I'd like to try one of the ones you have considering you've verified higher transfer rates than 6.5MB, and they're dirt cheap anyways. :-P If at all possible, I'd like to rule out the converter itself as the reason why I'm not getting the transfer rates that I should be getting.
I especially like that female one for the fact that it looks like it would just plug in directly into the motherboard, I wouldn't have to worry about the IDE cable and mounting issues.(see my pics for reference)Last edited by halfmanhalfamazing; 01 August 2007, 11:47 AM.

Not all converters support DMA: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/24/46
Find one that works with DMA and performance will probably be better.
I wish there were an easier way to test that out without having to do some soldering.(or at least, that's how I read it, that's the fix)Last edited by halfmanhalfamazing; 01 August 2007, 11:36 AM.

This is also why M0n0wall disables DMA by default, too many problems with CF cards when the kernel tries to use DMA.

I'm eying one for myself to some of the same sorts of cute tricks with more modern machines.
