| 727311 | 2008-12-10 02:17:00 | Can you use solid-state disks in Linux? i.e. are they just treated the same as any other SATA drive from a driver point of view? Seems that a SSD would be a perfect choice for a HTPC box!! |

| 727313 | 2008-12-10 03:35:00 | Why a SSD for a HTPC? You could go with a CF Card, they're *heaps* cheaper .. ! I setup a HTPC for a friend in a Mini-ITX case, Mini-ITX Dual-core 1.6Ghz Atom, 4GB CF card ... cheap as chips, and it plays HD movies quite well (Stream across the network). Have only tried 720p movies so far, but still.. |

| 727315 | 2008-12-10 08:29:00 | Indeed :) Except its much easier to buy a CF -> IDE adapter for ~USD$7, works on *all* PC's with no fuss. Costs a *little* more though when you add it all up vs an SD card & an internal Adapter for one | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
