CF-51 Mk3: Does it use a SATA drive?

#1 Post by OperationDinnerOut »

Subject says it all. The Mk3 uses the 945 chipset, which I have always seen accompanied by a SATA drive in other (non-rugged) laptops.

Sorry about creating so many threads regarding the CF-51. I figured I should separate my questions by topic...

No SATA. The 51's came and went before the popularity of the SATA drives. The 52 has them.
One CF-52, four CF-18's, 4.5 CF-28's, one CF-29, five CF-M34's, two CF-37's, one CF-P2 and two CF-P1's. There are also two Getac A320T's, one Fieldpac and two IBM Transnotes. Not to mention the AMD 5600 CPU with three monitors and several HP PDA's. Whew! Must quit buying...no, must have MORE! Then there are the weapons...

Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

On a related note... I purchased a caddy for a Mk3. It's my first ever purchase from Heartland! I wanted to provide the details for everyone's benefit:

CF-51PF2DEBM [the unit I ordered it for]

part no: DFWV99A0112
price: $59.36 plus shipping

This is the *entire* caddy kit, and an unbelievable price at that. The nice lady on the phone (I don't remember her name) told me that the other marks of CF-51 had caddies with a different part number.
