CompactFlash to IDE Adapter - CFDISK.2G

This adapter allows you to replace hard disk drives with solid state storage in existing systems. This interface allows CompactFlash (CF) cards to be used instead of a 2.5" notebook hard drive. Once the system starts with the adapter and the CF card attached, the system recognizes the CF card as a standard disk drive. Unlike other flash storage systems, such as disk-on-chip modules, this solution does not require drivers or additional software to run. The CF card can be the primary boot device containing the OS and application.

Features:

• 44-pin (male) IDE connector (notebook style)*
• 2.5" notebook hard drive size
• Powered from the IDE connector
• Supports CompactFlash cards (Type I & II) or an IBM Microdrive
• Transparent to the operating system and does not require any drivers
• Same mounting hole locations as bottom holes of a 2.5" notebook HDD

Note: This CF reader is not hot-swappable because it is an IDE device. A CF card must be installed in the CF reader before the computer is booted up. If a CF card is inserted in the CF reader after the computer is started, the computer will not recognize the CF card and the computer will need to be restarted.
