To piggy back on that, many controllers have different amounts of background garbage collection. I second the OWC recommendation. With good garbage collection and keeping say 10% free, you should be very happy with performance over time. That also said, you can saturate your ata 66 bus with a fast compact flash card, so a cheap IDE to cf adapter and cf cards may be a cheaper way to go with similar performance. For heavy use, I would still think OWC.
None of that advice is from experience. Just from prior research I've done when considering buying a used cube for fun... -doc jimbo Sent from my mobile device.
