Hi,


I'm replacing a 10gb SCSI drive in an A4000 with a 256Gb CompactFlash card and an IDE-CF adapter.

As I understand it the A4000's max throughput is 3.6MB (roughly 28.8Mbit) while the CF card's max throughput is around 150/130Mbps thanks to UDMA7.

At the moment drive speed isn't an issue, but I'm planning to get a 16-bit soundcard and do some fairly heavy (for an Amiga) audio work.

I've looked at the FASTATA as an option, but this seems a bit overkill for a CF card. I've also read that people have had trouble booting from it with certain configurations.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the most from an IDE adapter? I'd like to be able to write DVD images at some point, too. I have an IDE DVD-RW.
