Hard Drive Adapter
Persistor BigIDEA

The BigIDEA hard drive adapter allows your (CF1 or) CF2 to control a standard 2.5" hard drive or a 1.8" Type III PCMCIA.

NOTICE - Persistor will continue to make the BigIDEA available for existing applications, we do not recommend the product for new applications.

The BigIDEA is tested in stacks of 4. Users who are implementing stacks of BigIDEA should carefully test their setup before deployment.

Users should test new hard drives to ensure they remain compatible with their set up before deployment.

Shown is a typical setup with the BIAHD mounted in our RCPDAQ 12 bit A/D prototyping board, and a CF1 with CompactFlash card mounted in the BIAHD. BIAHD data and power cables are included.
