    IDF :: More IDE flash

    Having a nosy around Super Talent's stand at IDF, we ran into a 4GiB flash drive with integrated IDE controller.

    Just been given some info that says the device only manages 16MB/s. Not so great :\

    How does that speed compare to a normal 2.5" hard disk?

    EDIT: i asked this in the thread about the TDK 32gb flash drive and the opinion was that normal hard disks can manage

    50mb/s +

    Problem is, I dont care about transfer speeds, its the speed it takes to read files that is important on an htpc.
