SRAM cards in CF format would be great. Too bad they only come in PCMCIA format. But would it solve some problems with CFs?
I'm not pointing a finger of blame to anyone here, SSDS are sensitive to static and power spikes, more so than the rest of the system with CF's being that much more sensitive.
SegaDude, how long have you had this set up running, and where you got this CF from?
I know that when errors happens on SSDs and on CFs, they happen quite fast and without warning.
TechKnight, I know that "Modern" CFs supports wear leveling and bad block blocking, with Modern being any thing from 2005 - 2008, depending on the manufacturer. But there are many older cards being sold as new that do not have these "Modern" options on them/ Furthermore, counterfeiting of CFs is quite high, where you think you are buying a name brand with such protections when it is a cheap knock off with nothing to protect the data within. Worse are "high milage" used CF cards being sold new, one can not tell how often CF was written too since there are no "odometers" on them. If anything, peeling off their metal cover might give you the age of the chips by its date codes but that's it.
Most of my systems are on SSDs with 1/2 of them on CFs since 2005 or before. I do keep a weary eye on them, knowing that some would begin failure soon but so far I've been lucky.
Personally, I would like to know what and how it happened.
