I'm thinking of setting up a mini-itx config to run off a 4GB microdrive using an IDE-to-compact flash adapter. Has anyone done this here? I'm curious if it will be too slow to be usable when compared to a laptop hard drive.
It will be considerably slower than a laptop hard drive, but if you don't plan on using hard drive intensive programs, then you should be fine. If you use this setup as an HTPC and have video being run from the optical drive or the network, it should be more than enough.
