I'm interested in using a
CompactFlash-to-SATA adapter, and booting
from a CF card. Does anyone know what the speed/reliability would be
like?
I think it would be pretty slow - my CF cards seem to give only
5-6MB/sec transfer. Even my slowest hard drives run a LOT faster than
that.
Plus - CF has a limited lifespan when it comes to writing to the card.
