Cheap cfast 2.0 storage?

[zerocool22]

Hello,

Does anybody know any fast and cheap cfast 2.0 drives for ursa mini pro in Europe? Links are appreciated!

Cheers,

These seem about the cheapest

As an alternative, though not strictly a cheaper card, but certainly an way to have cheaper media is to have a cfast to SSD adapter.

There are commercial ones but plenty go down the DIY route.

Here is some info about how to build one for £100 which will then let you pay less than half the price for a 256gig for example than even the cheaper cfast cards

I suppose it depends on how much media you will be going through in a single day before you can offload as to whether the cost saving (which obviously only gets bigger when you add multiple SSDs) and the form factor are worth it. If you only need one 256gig card then it doesn't seem worth it. 

One thing to bear in mind though is if you do find yourself in an urgent need of additional media, you can find electronics shops in even most small towns that you can get SSDs from which definitely isn't the case with cfast cards!

I'd be inclined to buy the £200 card from biwin and make the adapter as well. For £300 you're covered both ways then and even adding a 256gig SSD you'll still be quite a bit up on the deal compared to the larger branded media.
