Here is a screen capture of the Benchmark speed test i did on the CF card that i used for this SSD. From the Benchmark test, you get to see the speed at which these CF card will operate. The CF that i am using is a Kingston 8GB Elite Pro x133. It is suppose to be able to clock a max speed of 20 MB/s. The program that i used for this test is HD Tune 2.55. You can download and try it out yourself. Click here to download. In the first test i used a typical USB 2.0 CF card reader while the second test the CF card is connected to the IDE of a laptop through the CF to IDE adapter. Here's are the test results. As you can see from the results of the test using a typical USB CF card reader, the reading is relatively close to the rated 20Mb/s. With the CF card connected directly to the IDE, the reading seems to be fluctuate wildly. I am not too sure what is the actually cause. But i suspect it might be due to some caching of data that cause the spikes in the test results. Overall, 20Mb/s ...
