I have three PSATA SSD IDE harddrives and I also have a few CF card to IDE adaptors. Is there any benefits to the PSATA SSD IDE versus the CF cards? All of my CF-IDE adapters have master and slave pins. I have a lot of old computers that I want to move to the simplest format. Any reason for me to use the PSATA SSD drives? Compatibility? Lasts longer? etc?

I also have a case of NOS SCSI drives that I am wanting to sell off since I want to switch to Zulu SCSI... Any compatibility issues that I should be aware of?

My systems includes PowerBook, PowerMac, NextCubes, NextStation, A1200, A4000, A3000, A2000. The 68K macs are not going to be resurrected, they are just for getting the ROMs for Emplant and Fusion. Some Ataris that I frankly do not even know where to start or what to do with. C128 have no harddrive obviously.
 
I've used them but more for higher end setups like NG Amiga where you can take advantage of the extra raw read speed.

In theory they should be more robust for more heavily used systems but I'm sure a decent quality SD/CF card is just as good for casual use.
