I've been running XBMC Live of a 2GB Kingston USB Drive for a while. As you might imagine 2GB gets filled up and it's time to expand. I'm looking at 4GB which I think is sufficent for my userdata.
However I'm thinking about running XBMC of a Compact Flash card via a CF->Sata adapter and I would like some input from people who has experience from CF. I'm particularly interested in the required transfer rate of the CF card. Is around 20 MB/s read/write sufficient for running XBMC with a backdrop intense skin? Or would I be looking for a 40MB/s read/write?
