So back for a bit, and have decided to get the D525MW w/1GB of RAM. Placing order in the morning. I completely forgot about this CF-to-IDE option, and will prob look into it later, but for now I'm anxious to get something up and running. Incremental dev ;)
FWIW, I have 16 2.5" drives here, of which 3 does not work (kept them cause I might've needed the internals to repair some other drive over the past years), and 4 in machines currently. Only 2 of these are SATA. Of all, the WD's and Hitachis have been the most reliable for me, so I guess YMMV really applies here. Always hated Seagate, and a year ago I got a Seagate (was on sale and I figured it had been long enough), and it died about a month later. Grrr... Anyway, thanks for the info, and I'll post updates when I have anything useful to show off. Cheers, -Neil.
