PCI to 4
x Compact Flash Card Host Card Adapter
Low cost alternative for large
capacity raid SSD
|
|
Part number: PCI-4CF
|
|
|
The adapter allows as many as
4 CF cards of any capacity to be used like ordinary hard drives. Using the
built-in firmware utility, the installed 4 CF cards can be combined to
become one large volume by configuring them as RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10
for redundancy or as 4 separate drives. The PCI to 4 x CF card
adapter, as a low cost alternative to the expensive SSD solution, can can be
used in many industrial and commercial applications without paying the
high cost of Solid State Drives
