The unique CF - SATA HDD Adapter is designed to enable Compact Flash (CFI/II) media to be used as a direct replacement for a 2.5" SATA hard drive. As a result, any equipment, such as Notebook computer, that uses a 2.5" SATA hard drive can be easily converted to use the low power and shock resistant CF media. Once installed, the CF appears as an ordinary hard drive to any OS and can be configured as a boot device.

Illustration of replacing the hard drive with a CF Adapter in a Notebook

Locate 2.5" SATA drive door and remove the screws to open the door.

Remove 2.5" SATA hard drive from SATA connector. Attach the CF Adapter with CF card inserted onto the SATA connector.

note: the CF can be secured inside the hard drive cavity with a double face tape. A small piece of styrofoam block may also be shaped to fit and fill the extra space. See the following link for more detail.
