Hi list,

>From Soekris Wiki:
net5501 supports PATA or SATA (this is connected by a bridge to PATA;
you can't use both ports and a CF; it is possible to use one PATA and
one SATA drive together with a workaround).

Uhmm.. So if I connect a SATA harddrive I get something like this?:
SataHD -> SATA port > SATA2PATA-bridge > Soekris-device
..right?

Does this mean I won't get better preformance when I use SATA instead of
PATA?

So my question: Should I buy a PATA or a SATA harddrive? I think SATA is
a bit more expensive. I want +/- 160GB space, it should be durable and
24/7 on.  (Do 'PATA 7200 rpm hard drives' actually exist?)
