Hi all! First post here but have been lurking these forums for years. I ran a search for this topic but I didn't find much please forgive me if this was archived somewhere I didn't see. I also want to thank all the contributors and valuable information that has been archived and discussed here.
My questions are about storage drive solutions for Win 98 setups. I know the max is 128g~ and I am leaning towards an IDE to SD card reader. I have an SS7 Mobo so I know I am pretty much limited to IDE interfaces.
First question. Is there any point to go with an SD UHS II card that has a faster read write speed then 133mb/s? My understanding is that IDE read write speeds are limited up to 133mb/s. So even if I went and got something like this. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?I … =9SIAFVF75E1964 I would not get any benefit because of the limit on speed? Would this be better? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?I … =9SIAD247X15901
Second question. What alternative could I go with other then a standard plater drive which I really do not want to do. I've watched some videos from Phil and LGR about this and I really want to lean towards non standard HDD. I could do an SSD with a converter to IDE but I feel that, that might be overkill as well.
Thank you everyone!
