StarTech 1.8" IDE to Compact Flash Adapter

The CF2IDE18 1.8" IDE to Compact Flash (CF) Adapter allows you to convert a Compact Flash I/II or MicroDrive into simple and convenient Solid State Storage, that can be used to replace a conventional 1.8" IDE hard drive. Solid State Storage in turn provides a silent, cool-running drive, that requires no moving parts, enabling it to withstand harsh environments (i.e. dust, heat etc.). Solid State Drives do not contain moving parts. This provides faster startup and random access times, because the drive doesn't have to "spin up" and doesn't use a read/write head to access data. This is also of major benefit in environments that may contain a great deal of dust etc., which would typically cause mechanical failure in a conventional drive. Using a Compact Flash Card or Micro Drive to create a Solid State drive using the CF2IDE18 1.8" IDE to Compact Flash (CF) Adapter makes a perfect addition to any environment. A perfect replacement for conventional hard drives, which could be affected by external factors such as dust particles or atmospheric changes, Solid State Drives offer a quieter, cooler alternative, the (created) Solid State drive produces little or no heat, and requires much less power to operate than a conventional hard drive.
