another option is to buy an IDE-Compact flash adaptor and put a CF card in it..this one too looks like a HDD to the computer. the cheapest way might be however to use a USB stick  booting off flash disks would shave a few seconds of the bootup time too!
btw which EPIA did you buy? the nano-ITX or the mini-ITX? and which OS are you plan to going to run on it? |
Hi,
I do have a IDE CF adapter but i have decided to bypass that for now. The case i am using is very small and i want to minimize what all i put inside it. I will wait for a decent size SSD to come at good price and just replace the HDD.
I bought a mini ITX , the EN15000, pretty much the fastest board i could find
.
cheers.
