Make Your Own SSD ( Solid State drive )

[AMD_Gamer]

What do you guys think about this? http://www.pcformat.co.uk/files/images/PCF219_Make_a_solid_state_drive.pdf

the transfer speed is kinda slow

Might as well grab a bunch of USB sticks an RAID them together if you're going that route...

I run two of those in RAID0 for last year or two maybe... running Linux tho... its slow and no point to it anymore. You can buy a 30/32GB SSD for $100, why waste money on this that is slower and worse leveling?

I've made a quick price check and 32 gig flash card is similar price as basic 32 gig SSD.
Seems kinda pointless.

When I saw this I was reminded of a very similar article I saw in 2007 or so when a 32GB SSD was more likely to cost $1000+. At that time the idea of being to make a "SSD" with a cheap CF card was pretty appealing, but obviously SSD prices have dropped too much since then for this trick to have any worth.

This was interesting five years ago.

I own two of those adapters. I only get 12 MB/s to the cards. Would Not Buy Again. Go buy a real SSD instead.
