Wish you had an SSD Hard Drive but don’t have the dough?

Yeah, me too! Now, though, we have another option than spending $1000 bucks for this; meet the Sans Digital’s CS1T and CR2T devices which turn CF (Compact Flash) cards, into 2.5" HDD enclosures perfect for your laptop.

cr2t CS1T is single-card enclosure, while it’s brother CR2T is a dual card enclosure that uses RAID and supports capacity of up to 64GB.

The benefits are same as having an SSD drive: less power consumption, less heat, shock prevention, and silent operation.

Supports RAID 1 (Mirroring) or Spanning, up to 2 x 32GB CF cards, and it connects via SATA.

You can buy it now for $99, no CF’s included of course. Considering CF card prices of about $160GB per 32GB card, it definitely beats the SSD price. I wish there were some benchmarks to show the true speed so we can really conclude on how it compares with true SSD drives.

Buy it @ Sans Digital Store

Update: Engadget has a video of a similar model from Century together with a video you might be interested in: http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/video-centurys-compact-flash-ssd-sata-adapter-reviewed/
