Re: Net 5501-70 Dead With Red Flashing Error Light

http://soekris.com/Issue0006/

The kingston CF cards have specifically made it into previous threads as being troublesome on the 4801 and 5501.  I personally am all for moving to SATA SSD on the 5501 if you care about it actually working.  SATA is a much better hard drive interface than CF, and the performance, longevity, size, and cost at size is massively better.

I have been using sandisk ultra CF cards without any problem for years, but the performance has never been great.

	ED.
