It can only be the IDE to SD bridge then?

Would be very interesting to see a raw write benchmark without involving the filesystem. That would be destructive to the data on the drive, so I don’t think one exists. It would however tell if the filesystem or related setting has anything to do with this, which feels highly unlikely. Can you post a picture of your SD-adapter? |

It's one of these.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/123499746698 I read some positives about it somewhere, might even have been on eab. |

Possibly a Sintech clone/knock-off ~ I always get suspicious when they slap a Q.C. sticker on top of the controller IC (as if to hide something), when there's a big open area on the back of the board (SD slot side) they could've put the sticker instead...(very common ploy with knock-offs).
I imagine, under the sticker, the chip is marked as a KTC FC1307A? ..this is itself is not enough to properly identify ~ you'd need to desolder the soic8 eeprom and dump the firmware. A 'real' Sintech SD to IDE adapter typically uses a JM20330 controller (the FC1307A is more a CF to IDE bridge, which can do SD card, but the firmware needs to account for the fact there's no CIS structure like there is in a CF card). The 'real' Sintech boards are different..ie; https://www.ebay.com/itm/123457133753 You encounter similar issues with vintage x86 mobos ..iirc, the issue was with PIO Mode0, which some of these controllers handle very badly ; usually a JM20330 based adapter get it right, but even then they can get picky about which storage is used. The only 'clue' found, was if they're advertised as mSATA to PATA they likely work....OTOH if it's "mSATA to PATA/IDE", things become hit&miss... Mind you... https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-...ase::1287.html .... and the currently not in stock (but my bet is you could find them).. https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-...ter::1285.html .. they are both Sintech designs =) |

I don't know. It will have to do for now, can't get any more stuff for a while. It is what it is atm.
I don't know if there's limitations in how the TF536 handles IDE so it doesn't really matter what I put in there. Gonna get myself a Pistorm instead eventually. Got this TF card a few years ago before I even knew about Pistorm being a thing. I'm giving up on this now, the little I use my 500 I can live with the slow transfers. |

JM20330 type but you mileage will vary on media type. I bought one of these many moons ago here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00S6GNZ...t_details&th=1 Transfer speeds were faster on MicroDrives tbh & these were faster than any CF card I saw in real terms. If you go to AliExpress & search for "mSATA to 2.5" IDE HDD SSD mSATA to PATA Adapter", there are loads available from different suppliers @ different prices. Trick is knowing which ones employ JM20330 controllers. Last edited by Kin Hell; 15 July 2024 at 17:19. |

So what is recommended? What's the best bet to get without being to expensive? I really don't need a very large drive to my 500.

Yes.... Silly me....
I was going to go on about the TF & moan with Rose Tinted Glasses as to not needing specific drivers for any Amiga CPU other than 040 or 060. Since the advent of OS3.1.4, we need to install specific Library routines even @ 030 level... I mention this purely as faster CPU's will give you better IDE performance whist having a hit on the CPU. SCSI is a different matter. To save me trawling this thread, does your Kickstart have the enhanced IDE included for this card or are your ROM's naked, if you pardon the expression. |

There are work arounds I believe, but you can get newer ROM's which include the enhanced IDE on ROM.
Have a look at the options over at Amiga Passion. 3.2 is the latest available with the TF afaik. - supaduper might be able to help further. |

So I'll just get 3.2 when I feel I can start spending on my old hardware again. |

You can't just buy any old 3.2 ROM for it to work. It has to have the enhancement for the TF card. |

This isn't true for the TF536, it's just pretending to be Gayle, so the standard ROMs will be fine, just make sure the MuFastROM is working as expected!

Yes. TF536 isn't like TF1260/360/4060 it does not include the TF eIDE controller and so doesn't need a special ROM or driver

Let me rinse instead of repeating & apologise....
I was not aware the A500 was different to the rest of the bunch & apologise accordingly.... ....Kin walks off muttering indignities of hardware bastardisation.... |

Just for the heck of it I installed pfs3aio and reformatted but that changed nothing.
