Review on 💾 Enhance Your Device's Storage with Transcend PCMCIA ATA Adapter for CF2 Card by Mark Adlesh

Don't forget this is slow 16-bit hardware, but it works, fits flush into the PCMCIA slot and is very affordable. It can make a CF-I card readable on an XP computer, even if this CF-I adapter is equipped with two 64Gbps SDXC microchips. SSD is stable solid-state storage. An SSD hard drive is simply a hard drive with solid state storage. But if you have an available SD port or PCMCIA slot on your computer, I'm wondering; Could you put in something like an SSD at least for backup? My Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 runs Windows XP Service Pack 3 and has an SD card reader. So I put a 32GB SDHC in this reader and got some space to back up some files. But will it read a higher capacity 64GB SDXC card - higher capacity? no Not in the SD reader. I downloaded the KBxxxxx Windows XP update for the exFat patch so the OS AT LEAST "sees" and knows about the exFat formatting, but the Toughbook CF-30 hardware didn't do the job. Windows could see it was an exFat file but couldn't format it to the full 64GB. (Total 29 GB) But I *also* had two PCMCIA card slots in the car. One is half-height and the other is full-height. I put the SD card reader in the half-height slot. Sandisk ExpressCard Model SDAD-109 - With THIS card in the PCMCIA slot, the device can now read and write SDXC 64GB. But the lid didn't close. So I researched further and found a full size PCMCIA Extreme CF adapter from Komputer Bay that takes 2 micro SDXC cards and combines them into one CF-I (compact flash). ) Map. The problem seemed that CF-I is 16 bit. It's getting slow. But if I could get my two Samsung EVO 64Gb SDXC Micro SD cards to EVER show up, I'd take it. I would get 128GB of additional file storage if I didn't mind running it overnight. I took two Samsung EVO 64GB MiniSDXC chips and put them in the CF-I adapter. They are spring loaded like all good memory card slots. In order to insert a defective 128GB CF card into my machine, I had to insert it into the PCMCIA card slot. So I got a Transcend CompactFlash TS0MCF2PC adapter - no need to try to get 32-bit because CF-I was already a 16-bit bottleneck. I was looking for a 32-bit CF adapter but there was only one available from Lexar and this was the one I used. I couldn't tell if it would fit the CF II anyway. Also, no other dual-chip CF-II adapter is currently available. CF-I only. So I settled on a Komputer Bay Extreme SDXC CF-I adapter which said it could fit 2 64Gbps SDXC minis and plugged them into this Transcend CF-I to PCMCIA adapter . And plug THIS into my computer's PCMCIA slot. I thought it would show up as two mini SD cards of 64GB each, but it showed up as one large 117GB drive. The updated Windows XP immediately recognized it as exFat and formatted the exFat as one. The two Minis in the CF-I were attacked together. As a result, I have a 128GB CF card (117GB actually) in the PCMCIA slot, which represents 128GB of additional storage, limited to 16-bit speeds, but it's still storage. And it's still stable backup material if I can afford to wait. Two drives formatted together do not individually contain any useful information. They can only be used together in a CF-RAID array. It just means that in the event of a hardware failure of the CF adapter, my data will not be saved on the two SDXCs in it and will therefore be lost. I can move 4GB per hour from SDHC in the machine's native reader to PCMCIA-CF. Adapted SDXC-64.
