1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work!, May 12, 2010

This review is from: StarTech.com 1.8-Inch 50-Pin IDE to Compact Flash Solid State Drive Enclosure IDE502CFE (Personal Computers)
I have purchased [...] 1.8in 50 Pin IDE to Compact Flash Solid State Drive Enclosure Adapter - IDE502CFE and SanDisk 32GB Extreme III Compact Flash Card. This sounded like an excellent alternative for my second failed Toshiba hard disk. The computer never recognized it as a hard disk. It would just lock up and wouldn't even allow me to access BIOS setup. I tied another Compact Flash, this time 128 MB SanDisk and indeed it worked! Needless to say 128MB is not really an alternative for a hard drive. I contacted customer support and was told "It appears that you will not be able to use that card with our adapter. I'd recommend using a different card or having the adapter replaced." I purchased Transcend Compact Flash 16GB 133x and others. Neither worked. I asked StarTech for a list of CF that were actually tested and work. This was over a week ago. After doing some needed testing for StarTech I'm stuck with [...] of garbage hardware. The product is worthless and the customer support utterly incompetent.
