Turn a CompactFlash card into a SSD. Kind of.

April 27, 2009 By Ade Magnaye

So you want to swap out your old HD for one of those new SSDs you keep on hearing about? But those darn SSDs are quite expensive. Well, there’s a way: with the CompactSTOR CS1T, you can turn any CompactFlash drive into an SSD. Kind of.

The CompactSTOR CS1T utilizes pocket-sized lightweight Compact Flash cards as storage memory for data safekeeping. Designed with the same size and connectors as a 2.5” SATA hard drive, the CS1T is compatible with the hard drive slot of laptops, industrial PCs (IPC), small form factor computers, and 2.5” hard drive enclosures. By utilizing Compact Flash cards as storage, the CS1T embraces the same benefits as Solid State Disks (SSD), including less power consumption, minimized heat generation, shock prevention, and noiseless operation.

Basically, it’s a CF enclosure. Would you try this out? I know I would.
