You'll find at the top what I was after. Specifically, experience with that type of interface in the first post. If you don't have experience with the sd to sata board, I'll kindly ask you to not comment on this post.

I have an SD to IDE adaptor & an 8GB card.
I have so far only installed a live linux distro to it I generated myself and it boots up and runs slightly faster than if I booted off a USB drive.
It really depends on the distro though.
PCLinuxOS LXDE running advance mame & advance menu on a p3 with 512mb of ram is slowish to start but seems fine once the front end is up.
That uses about 140mb of ram at boot.
I have persistence turned on so any changes I make to the system are saved to the card in read only.
Everything runs in ram & while there is a delay when I start apps they run just fine once they are loaded into memory.
Slitaz is the other distro I tested.
It only uses about 30mb when booting to a desktop so it boots a lot faster.
Still not as fast as a Hard Drive but once you boot it does it really matter?
Slitaz however requires more manual configuring & compiling to get things working.
