Minimum required to spin up ide hard drive?
spamme9 - 2008-12-06 05:01:00
What does it take to spin up an IDE hard drive?
Here's the scenario...
You're at a swapmeet or garage sale or picking up
a drive you bought on Craigslist.
Me: "Is it free of bearing noise?"
Seller: "Oh yeah, was my brother's primary drive."
Note, the question was completely avoided...

Reverse IDE to USB adaptor?
_ - 2008-03-21 15:32:00
Toying with the idea of replacing an HD with a usb stick, to reduce power
usage, weight, heat, size, etcetera.
There are lost of adaptors that let you plug a drive into a usb port; is
there an adaptor that does the reverse? The board in question (Series 1
Tivo) has no USB port, just an IDE...Re: Hi-Tech Software bought by Microchip - no more other compilers

I just had another idea:

For about $10 (perhaps less) there seem to be CF ATA (PATA, IDE)
adapters available, which would solve your solid-state desire for less
scratch than an ATA "sold state drive", based on non-extensive search.
