The Sell of SanDisk CF cards for laptops

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Sat Oct 30, 2010 7:47 pm

A few years ago I bought a 1.0GB SanDisk CF card and a IDE adapter, non HDD style case.
I installed it in my ThinkPad 560X and installed a fresh Windows 95 on it and later XP Home. the CF "cheaper SSD" runs really fast and much better than my old Hard Disk Drive. witch I plan to do a entire replacment of Hard Disk Drives in my PCs to the CF SSD. the great thing about the CF card is you can always upgrade the card for a bigger one and leave the adapter in. This would be nice if this would be the future Hard Drives. So far I just have a few 16GB cards but later the 32GB and 64GB will be coming down in price.

So will SanDisk make CF cards big as a 1TB like Hard drive are coming today? I think the highest is a 3TB in the Hard Drive world today. reason for wanting a 1TB or 2TB is for a external Hard drive for my DVDs on my computer.

As far as I know, CF cards only go up to 128 gig, but that may already be out of date, since someone announced a 256 gig USB flash drive a while ago. There is an adapter for using two CF cards as a hard drive.

There are also budget SSD's available. I am using an OCZ Onyx SATA II 2.5" SSD 32GB (OCZSSD2-1ONX32G) in my server

That SSD cost me about 55 euro
