Thread: Flash hard drive on ebay

That's a very good question! Do these flash drives also have a limited read/write life like the Compact Flash cards or are they imune from that?

I have one of the 256mb versions of these, installed Win95 as a test, and the boot time ranged at about 9 seconds. Not a bad little piece of hardware, I just wish it was a little bigger so I could use Windows 2000 on my car player.

the auction stated these are compatible with 2.5" hd's so does that mean i would need a laptop converter to use this? thanks,

hrmmm, these look pretty cool? Anyone know about the lifespan of such devices? Could i use it to boot the OS on my actual PC?

yea you can use it to boot your os. itll boot windows in under 10 seconds supposedly

Hmm, with me thinking that most of my problems are stemming from my hds, wheres a retail outfit that carries them?

of course, i am sure a 1gb or higher flash drive will cost an arm and a leg...

you can get a 350mb one for cheap just to put the os on thats what im about to do.

850 mb= $1150 at pc nation
