So, this raises another question I have: The APs I have have two compact flash slots in them with full microdrive support. However, flash memory is getting so high-capacity these days (and cheap) that I can buy a 32GB CF card for $140 from newegg. In fact, I can't find any microdrive options at newegg anymore. Question is, will solid-state CF be safe for a content caching solution? I intend to use the space on these cards for caching static content. But I have heard that CF fails after frequent writes.
Also, what capacity do you think I would need for a good caching system? 8GB, 16GB, 32GB? Thanks, Carl On Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 4:48 PM, Carl Youngblood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That is great!
