After all you're talking about CF cards here, not SATA cards, which are something entirely different. Maybe someone needs to spend the next recess break in class going over their text books.

Sounds like a new business model!]]>Jul 19th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/19/compactflash-sata-cards-on-the-horizon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/19/compactflash-sata-cards-on-the-horizon/So, does that mean we can upgrade our harddrive >based iPods with flash-based media?

In a short while you can :-)

Although, that's based on the current CF-cards, not with SATA-interface, but then again, there are no SATA-drives in your iPod right now, so no need for CF-cards with a SATA-interface either...

flash and sata is junkware for an OS drive. Ramdisks like the ramsan is the only revolution in computer speed improvement. ]]>Jul 19th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/19/compactflash-sata-cards-on-the-horizon/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/19/compactflash-sata-cards-on-the-horizon/considering that most modern drives will have sustained speeds of up past 70MB/s these days i have nfi where your 40MB/s statement is from

also sata is a lot nicer to deal with from the purely physical point of view.

ram disk have this annoying problem with how they lose everything when they turn off.
