A Way to Replace IDE/SATA Hardrive with CF Media 335 Views
Filed under: Laptop Hard Drive
Addonics technologies (www.addonics.com) provide adapters which allows users to replace IDE/SATA Hard Drives with Compact Flash Media. CF (compact Flash) is claimed to be more resistant from shock/vibration, consume less power, and more reliable than traditional 2.5″ IDE/SATA hard drives.
“With the increased capacity and lowering costs of flash media, replacing the hard drive with CF as a boot drive is now a viable and advantageous alternative because CF offers lower power and no moving parts.” - Press Release
The device is compatible with all major operating system include Windows, Mac, Linux and Soliaris. And the most important thing, the CF card is transparent to the system, it is mean that the system detect the CF card just like an IDE/SATA drive, so it is bootable too.
The adapters available in two models IDE-CF and SATA-CF adapter which the pricing set at $25 and $36 respectively, both comes with single slot. For users who want extra storage, addosinc provide another IDE-CF model which has dual slot and costs $30. Both will be available this month at www.shopaddonics.com and other resellers.
