<div>Almost jumped on it, then I realized that I have no need
for a 120GB SSD, at least not for mythtv. Gonna save a few
bucks and get a 64GB drive, sure the price per GB is higher,
but it's not like I'm using the SSD for much more than booting
and storing my database. I'll spend the difference with a
couple sticks of extra RAM.</div>

<div>I suppose I could use it for livetv, but I'm not sure if it
would make any difference in channel changing or anything like
that. Commercial flagging and transcoding are both CPU bound,
so I don't think it would make a difference there. Any
advantages to having a larger SSD in a myth system that I'm
overlooking? </div>

I wish that someone would come out with one of these that<br>
was shorter and could be used, with a SATA/PATA adapter.<br>
There is still a bunch of old equipment that uses the 2.5 PATA.<br>
They could just use a spacer on the other end for SATA applications.<br>
I do use a compact flash with some systems and though it seems to
work<br>
well, CF is quite expensive for any decent size.<br>
The SD to PATA adapters that I've tried were
slooooooooooooooooooooow.<br>
