64GB CF SATA

This solution is based upon the Sans Digital CR2T double CF to 2.5" SATA Drive converter kit. You can also shop for this mounting case at Google. It is finished with two pieces of Ridata 233x 32gb Lightning series CF card. You can Google shop this part number CFR32G-233X-LIG2 by clicking here. If shopping for your own components you will need to purchase an MFT license for single-drive Workstation or MLC Server edition separately. Some distributors offer the components together with an MFT license, as listed below.

Consult the table below for tested results. As you can see, this product is a poor value if used without MFT, but increases 150-fold in effective performance when used together with MFT, becoming an effective Laptop or Server device at low cost.

Please note that the 64GB variant of this product performs approximately 14% less well than the 32GB variant using the CS1T case.

EasyCo Dual CF Card 64gb MLC SATA Drive Random Writes Permissible for 5-Year Drive Life
	7,200 rpm SATA HDD	15,000 rpm SAS HDD	64gb Drive
Maximum write throughput per day without MFT	19GB	69GB	2GB

Thruput per day is based upon an average data size of 10.66kb and a read/write mix of 70% reads and 30% writes. The values shown for the 7,200 and 15,000 rpm Hard Disks are the maximum possible attainable values if these drives are run at 100% duty cycle 7x24. Values for the flash media are calculated as described here. Here, the limit to throughput is not time, but rather the number of safely available write cycles based upon a goal-life of at least five years.
