The hard disk in my empeg appears to be on its last legs. Since it's my last PATA 2.5" hard disk, I need to buy something new. Should I stick with moving-part hard disks (given that the replacement will probably die before the empeg does, and they'll be a lot less common by then), or should I move to a CF/IDE adapter, on the assumption that either CF cards will last longer (no moving parts) or that they'll be available for longer?

I'm looking at this adapter. Does it look like it'll work? Presumably I can settle for the slower, cheaper CF cards?

Or should I just get a 120GB disk, such as this WD Scorpio Blue, and maybe one (or two) for spares?

I've only got 45GB or so of music, so a pair of 32GB CF cards or that 120GB disk should be plenty.
