I was wondering about that too. I can only assume the size/complexity of the physical CF connectors and RAID electronics required to support 4 cards would have been too much for the first iteration of this product.
What I don't really understand is why Flash memory in the form of CF cards is cheap while flash in the form of SSDs is super expensive. This product is clearly designed to take advantage of large price gap between CF and SSD - why is there such a large price gap?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
