Aside from being pin-compatible is there a reason CF is more suitable for an OS volume than SD?

- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoYou're unlikely to get support for modern high speed SD cards in these sort of adapters. CF has a better shot of supporting UDMA and even if not PIO mode 4 will get you 16MB/s which will likely outperform a typical SD slot in these devices.
- rootsudo 6y agoThat's great to know, probably why my SSD to ipod hdd didn't work out as great, and CF is the way to go.
- KozmoNau7 6y agoCF cards do wear leveling, which makes them much better suited as hard drive replacements than SD cards or USB sticks. It's the solution for people who want to play around with old computers without having to rely on old and probably flaky hard drives.
- Causality1 6y agoI have to point out that while wear leveling isn't in the SD spec, many manufacturers like SanDisk do include wear leveling in their controllers.
