Does someone knows the name of the device that connects the H4n audio recoder to the 7D? I would like to get one.

The 34 models interface is only compatible with ATA-3 and ATA-4 as in the 31 series.

This disks CANNOT BE USED with MBA 1st edition and HTC shift.

Too bad Toshiba.

@Imdaillest
You say "Any ATA drive of capacity larger than 137 gigabytes is ATA-6."

There must be a confusion somewhere because the 240GB MK2431GAH, which is ATA LIF, only supports ATA-2 and ATA-3

It does not seem good for a MBA or HTC shift mod.

Can we use this drive inside a 1st gen MacBook Air or a HTC shift?
Is it PATA-ZIF?

Interface is rated as 100 MB/sec
At least ATA-6 is needed for the HTC shift. 100MB/s seems to translate in ATA-5 but I can be totally wrong.

I maybe wrong but I think the ipod touch uses on board flash memory. If this this is correct, the answer is no.

PhotoFast GMonster SSD gets wrestled open, found to contain compact flash cards

RAID 5 or 10 inside a SSD is an impressive feature.
If a CF fails, you can still use your PC. You would just need to buy 1/4th or less of the SSD value to repair it.

Won't buy a Panasonic then. Bye bye FZ-28.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
