64gb SSD

have a look at this drive Only ?78.98.
I never realised solid state drives were this cheap.

I have an a1 with a sii0680 card, and I wonder which card (3112/3114) I would need to utilise one of these.

@Swoop

yes, cheap but not the best one:

@Mrodfr

Looking for that drive in the UK it's ?122.55, over 50% dearer.

You say Quote:
What should I look out for?
and, as per my 1st post which sil card would I need ?

@Swoop

Either the 3112 or 3114 will suffice. They are basically the same card, the 3112 has 2 SATA ports, whereas the other has 4 ports.

Both are supported by AmigaOS 4.

@Rigo

Is it still valid (with the last revision of OS4) that these card does not support booting from a device?

One still can "only" use these cards for data or "add-on" hds?

This isnt meant as a negative, just checking

@Raziel

Thats the first time I've ever heard that. As far as I'm aware, these drivers support bootable media, as long as you can set the boot source in UBoot, I don't see a problem with them. The 3114 driver is the same as used in the Sam, and that boots the system just fine.

@joerg

Sil 3112 and 3114 will both work, I believe... Sil 3512 will work with AmigaOS but will not boot from Uboot.

@Rigo

Hi Simon

Is there any difference, relative to OS4, with regards to Sata and Sata 2.
The ssd drive is sata 2, so I wasn't sure which card supported that.

Also there was a discussion about using sata blueray writers for back-up (data only), so I had that compatibility in the back of my mind, when I asked the question as well.

Thanks for any pointers.
