There are lots of cheap sata-->cf adapters on ebay. I put it in one of machines I built. The thing is that one cf card died after a half a year, so I replaced it with a brand new, purchased in normal shop with all the warranty. That card died a week later, I got it exchanged for warranty, tomorrow I am going to do third attempt. No idea, why did they fail. The symptoms were: Ubuntu freeze up, after some time screen goes black and "I/O error" in particular sector is reported. I have a suspicion that the cheap chinese sata adapter could be to blame, but I have no idea, how to check that. I have my own routine of configuring Ubuntu for ssd/cf, which is basically the same as here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Install_To_CompactFlash I also additionally change I/O scheduler to "deadline". -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
