Addonics CompactFlash Adapters Replace Notebook Hard Drives

Now here ’s a swell idea from Addonics : substitute a laptop ’s 2.5″ severe disc with flash computer memory , using a $ 30 adapter that get you boot from CompactFlash card . Suddenly you ’ve convert that lappy into a solid - country notebook without spending an arm and a leg . That ’s what Addonics has done with its CompactFlash Hard Drive Adapters for notebooks , usable in both SATA and IDE flavors and accommodate either individual or dual CompactFlash cards .

So let ’s say you get yourself a duet of 12 GB CompactFlash card — that would cost you about $ 260 , and they ’re subject of read and write speeds of about 9 MB per second . Not the fastest drives in the world , but still serviceable . For under $ 300 , you have yourself a firm - province laptop . But 24 GB is n’t give way to be enough storage space , is it ?

We ’ve pick up talking of Samsung cranking out 64 GB CompactFlash cards before too long , though they wo n’t cost any $ 130 , that ’s for certain . Anyway , if you do n’t call for that much storage space , low - priced solid - state notebook computer conversions just got a whole lot easier .
