CF fixed disk

[erchni]

Hi, i have a compact flash coverter for mig x41 and was wondering what company makes them as fixed disks, since i have read that it needs to be that to run right, and i don`t have a compact flash reader where i can change it. I was looking at some at ebay the ceapest is this

but i dont know how it would be identified.

You can try formatting it as NTFS. Generally NTFS is recognized as fixed disk.

As for that CF card you noted, 10MB/sec write speed may be too slow; about on par with the Kingston CF I tested and posted in the "Benchmark" thread.

I have several of these CF adapters as well. You can see data from some faster CF in that table. I have a fast CF in a X40, that Transcend SSD in a X30, a 40GB Hitachi ZIF HDD in a X20 and a 60GB Hitachi ZIF HDD in a T41t.

Their max write speed is too slow. Only 10MB/s. The real 300x CF cards will go at 40MB/s write.

I think they're calling it 333x based on their read speed.

Yeeh you are right the wright speed is pritty slow. I gues i will try and find that speed topic.

Here is info about fixed/removable bit in various CFs:

And also:
Silicon Power 200x (similar to Transcend 133x) is fixed.

I will try NTFS tip for removable CF.
