I don't want to be hampered at all. Indeed, I want a speed boost for reads and writes.
Yet, with all this talk of what's possible, why then is there no one among us with comparative benchmarks?
I want to see benchmark performance of a CF or SSD solution in an SE/30, and then compare that with a fast spinning platter hard drive. Only then can we decided, based on the facts, what is truly faster or better.
