This is not the first time we see a gadget to build your own solid state drive. But this one is significantly cheaper. The Addonics CF-IDE Hard Drive Adapter lets you slide one or two CF cards into the adapter and use it to replace your 2.5-inch hard drive. The adapter is available with capacity for one or two CF cards and comes with an IDE connector. Once installed, the CF appears as an ordinary hard drive to any OS and can be configured as a boot device. The Dual CF-IDE Hard Drive Adapter contains a second CF slot for the slave position of the IDE channel, allowing increased storage capacity with the same low power consumption and solid state benefits of the CF card.
With CF cards reaching capacities of 16GB, you can easily build yourself a 32GB SSD.
The Addonics CF-IDE Hard Drive Adapter is available for $24.99 USD for the single CF card version and $29.99 USD for the dual CF card version.
