  • wow! very fast!

  • @vitekcom2

    nowadays, I would recommend an SSD.

    I did this when normal SSDs were not payable

    Than Again, still using this setup, and no complains till now ;-)

  • As I do not have any harddisk in my computer, I can not tell.

    But a normal harddisk will be faster for sure.

    As I boot only once and then use sleep/resume, boot time is not really an issue.

    I keep al my data on my network share, just as I keep my document and setting on an iSCSI Target. In that way, the CF is just to boot and nothing more.

  • In this case it was a slow CF card 40speed.

    This speedy bootup was accomplished by use f EWF (Enhanced write filter) borrowed from XPE.

    With EWF, nothing is written to the CF. Which makes everything quite fast.

  • How fast is the CF card (i.e. 150x, 250x or mb/s)?

  • The shop say it's a 120 speed, but I doubt it.

    The card itself does not show a speed.

see all
