The new Samsung NSSD achieve much better performance: read=53MB/s, write=30MB/s with 0.24ms access time. <http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/FlashSSD/ModuleType.htm> > Plus - CF has a limited lifespan when it comes to writing to the > card. Modern SSD all use Wear Leveling to improve the lifespan, to get actually better results than hard disks now. The only drawback to SSD is the price: 600EUR for 32GB is not really cheap. -a. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
