ok,
i now have a compact flash card and a cf to ide adapter ...
i bought a good cf-card, 1gb in size, 120x ...
i made an harddrive install on it and its damn fast and silent!
... very well! ... perfect! ... i thought ... but i was wrong!
because now i know that the cf-cards do wear out after an specific amount of read-write cycles ...
especially swapping will wear it out fast.
so how to reduce the read and write cycles?
the solutions i am thinking about:
a: leave the harddrive install as is and see how long it will last (hmm ... anybody eyperience with that?)
b: leave the harddrive install but swap on an usb stick
c: frugal install - i do not think this will reduce the read/write cycles, because it is mounted from the cf and not from ram.
also a frugal install is very slow!
d: toram install - much too less ram! just 96mb! nogo
e: use the cf card as booting device and run the whole system from an usb stick plugged into the pcmcia usb-adapter.
that solution will reduce the load on the cf card to a minimum, but then i am where i startet! (and i still do not have a clue how to alter the usb or pcmcia boot floppys to load both drivers)
your opinions??
thanks in advance!
