g3 B&W | 9gb
sawtooth | 20gb, 27gb
quicksilver 867 | 60gb
quicksilver 933 | 60gb
mdd DP 867 | 60gb

A B/W g3 400mhz I got in '99 had a 6gig pata HD.
There were some B/W g3s that had 9gb scsi's I think -
which ran at 450Mhz.
Check?

this just reinforces that its easy to use a fast Compact flash with ide adapter...
with any 8gb or 16gb .. obviously there are larger sizes but they get so expensive that u might aswell buy an ide-ssd...

if u use a 8gb compact flash for your boot drive u can always use removable media
such as firewire drives.. network drives... esata drives (For those of us with sata pci adapters)

8gb compact flash is cheap..! although getting harder to find as the manufacturers focus on higher volume sizes

i hope to provide some benchmarks with quickbench on the use of compact flash + sd cards as ide drives very soon!
