1.8" IDE to Compact Flash (CF)

1.8" IDE to Compact Flash (CF) 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 Storage - No Moving Parts! 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. Ideal in Any Environment and for the Environment 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."
