Addonics Dual CF Adapter Adds SSD to Computers

If you have several CompactFlash cards lying around from an old DSLR camera and want to put them to work inside your computer as a SSD drive Addonics has a new adapter that will allow just that. The Dual CF – SATA Adapter has dual CF slots to allow for using two CF cards as the same time via a SATA or USB connection.

The dual cards can be configured to RAID 1, RAID 0 or combined into one large storage volume. The adapter is a 2.5-inch direct drive replacement and optional brackets for other mounting options are available to mount the drive in a 3.4-inch bay or in an external 5.25-inch bay. The Dual CF – SATA HDD adapter sells for $79.99 and the adapters each sell for $4.50.

This makes for a way cheaper SSD solution for most users. You can pick up a 32GB CF card right now for $180 online making for a 64GB SSD at under $450. Plus this adapter allows you to run RAID for data protection. Some 2GB CF cards are under $50 right now for an even cheaper option.
