Century DIY SSD Now Goes Up to 2TB (in Theory)

While both Intel and Samsung are promising big drops in SSD prices by the year's end for now they still cost plenty. Unless you want to take the DIY route, and use this nifty gizmo from Century which uses compact flash cards for storage. The new version now accepts CF 3x cards and can create drives between 2GB and a crazy (and impossible, for now) 2TB in size. So you could buy a pair of 32GB CF cards for around $270, add in $192.57 for the DIY drive and you'd have a 64GB SATA SSD for about $460— less than half the cost of the 64GB MacBook Air's drive. Not bad, eh? Available from May 1st. [GeekStuff4U via Akihabaranews]

Dealzmodo: Free 4 GB Kingston Elite Pro Compact Flash Card

Adorama's got a 4GB Kingston Elite Pro CF card for $40, but with the $40 rebate, the total price is $0. Rebate deals sorta suck, but only if you're forgetful, and we're talking about free here. There's only a day left, so hurry! [Adorama via Photography Bay]

Delkin ImageRouters Can Dump 8 CF Cards At Once

Delkin's ImageRouter is for photogs who are in need of some serious dumpage, and fast. The basic unit lets you unload four Compact Flash cards simultaneously. The thing takes up about as much room as the Xbox 360's power brick, though fortunately it doesn't weigh a metric ton. If you want to get stupid ridiculous, you can daisy-chain two blocks together onto the powered USB port to handle a total of eight CF cards. Unfortunately the software doesn't work for Macs yet, so if you plugged it into one you'd just see four separate drives, killing the convenience factor of dumping about a million photos at once. It's $149 w/o software, jumping to $249 with the Windows-only utility. [Product Page]

Addonics CompactFlash Adapters Replace Notebook Hard Drives

Now here's a great idea from Addonics: replace a laptop's 2.5" hard disk with flash memory, using a $30 adapter that lets you boot from CompactFlash cards. Suddenly you've converted that lappy into a solid-state notebook without spending an arm and a leg. That's what Addonics has done with its CompactFlash Hard Drive Adapters for notebooks, available in both SATA and IDE flavors and accommodating either single or dual CompactFlash cards. More »

SanDisk CF 5000 Industrial Grade Memory

Has SanDisk gone bonkers, run out of ideas, or is there actually a need for a product like this? Today, SanDisk has announced its CompactFlash 5000 series. These cards are industrial grade, and it is even printed on the actual card, so it has to be true. The cards will be available in sizes from 512MB up to 8GB and have write speeds of 30MB per second, which is pretty fast. The cards are also constructed out of higher-grade materials to prevent the wear and tear that CF cards usually endure. This isn't an excuse to let your CF 5000 card double as a dog toy, but rest assured that it will be able to withstand the rigors of your everyday CF usage. These cards will be able this summer. –Travis Hudson More »
