you should try doing your videos while not on drugs

Firstly, get some editing software. Even Windows Movie Maker will do it. Hell, your video camera will do it.

Second, CF cards are not made to be written to as much as an operating system will. Your card will die in under a month. There is a reason companies charge so much for SSD drives.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Ha ha, so many of you are so misinformed. Granted SD and CF cards have limited write cycles, but if you do your homework and set Windows 7 up properly, a CF card will last longer then a week or even a month. Some people are reporting using their CF cards for over a year or longer. Windows 7 even comes with special software to extend the life of flash based memory, this includes SD, CF and SSD.

@RetroRepair

If you go with Transcend CF cards they have a life time warranty, when the CF card dies, you can just get a new one and Windows 7 only takes about 20 mins to back up.

CF's have roughly 10,000 number of write cycles, but some people are reporting using their CF as a HD for a year or longer without any problems.

@RetroRepair

You are right that a CF card won't last as long as a standard HD, but it should last longer then a month. you’ll want to turn off virtual memory so it doesn’t create a paging file on the cards.

There's a limit to read and write functions to cards, but that limit isn't standard or written in stone, you can get more or less depending on what you are doing with it. By limiting the read/write functions of windows you can easily increase the life of your SD or CF card exponentially.

nice slideshow

[Tedagavol]

mistake SSD s are designed for faster speed and more reads and writes

then a sd meaning that ya it will work faster then some HHDs but it will last a week to maybe a month before going to a dead stop or just dying out

[itzagundaaaaaaam]

compact to ide isn't same performance of modern solid state drive, basically.. your stoned!

@THE16THPHANTOM Ummm.. If you couldnt tell I WAS making fun of the Stoner saying "Basically" all the time..
