Re: OT Computer stuff
Thanks. Not without modification of the case and they are still more expensive than the present solution, which I have seen working. The narrower (1.8"?) drives will fit easily but are twice the price of the larger drives. > On 05 January 2016 at 22:38 "Carlos R." wrote: > > > Can't you use a 2.5' standard SSD?

Re: OT Computer stuff
Can't you use a 2.5' standard SSD? They are much cheaper now than they used to be. Or a miniPCI express one? In case your present SSD uses such interface.

OT Computer stuff
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with an 8Gig SSD. Apart from being terribly slow, the SSD appears to have failed. Looking around for a replacement, I discovered the option of using a CF card with a CF/ZIF adaptor. More space, less money = happy camper. However after installation of a Sandisc 32Gig 266x and much rude language due to non-functionality, I discover that the CF card needs to be DMA/UDMA enabled and that, usually, only "industrial" grade cards provide this. Said cards are, of course, only a whisker away, pricewise, from a new SSD. However Transcend advertises CF cards that are "UDMA mode 7". Having been bitten by advertising descriptions in the past, I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether this description really allows the cards to be used as fixed discs? Or... is there any way of enabling (U)DMA on the Sandisc? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
