A Neat Little Gizmo [Posted on 2008-02-05]
One of these, together with two high capacity CF cards equals a pretty good home brewed 2.5" Solid State Drive. I cheaped out on the CF cards, so the performance of my laptop is suboptimal in some respects. Installation time for new software is especially awful. However, on the whole, the performance of the laptop is improved. Bootup time is improved by better than 50%. Battery endurance is improved around 20%. Your mileage may vary, of course. Best of all, my laptop is completely silent most of the time now. Much less fan noise, no clicking read head, no whirring drive. If you have a couple of fast CF cards lying around, one of these gizmos will turn them into a perfectly fine Solid State IDE drive. If you don't have the cards on hand, it might make most sense to wait a few months and buy a purpose-built SSD; prices are falling fast now.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM [Posted on 2008-05-24]
Do not buy this item if you are even thinking about using this as a drop in replacement for a laptop hard drive. I spent 3 weekends+ going through various installs, research and re-installs - emailing "tech support" at Addonics and getting absolutely nowhere. After spending a lot of money on the CF cards to go with this unit, at least I can still reuse those in a PCMCIA adapter or something....

Great Idea! [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I used this card with a 4GB CF card on a 6 year old Toshiba laptop. The machine runs quiet and battery lasts longer. Highly recommended!
