I don't have that new version, but I do have an older IDE to CF card adapter (only 4 GB CF card installed) for a Win98se/DOS based PC that I pieced together. I wanted a silent solution to the noisy whirring of the old IDE 3GB spinning drive. It worked out great for me. Plug and play and it was reliable.
The updated version should not be that different. However, I hear that the memory has a limited number of read/write life? I don't think solid state hard drives have that same issue. My solution was to simply buy and extra CF card and clone it, then put it safely away.
That said, I did notice that it was slightly slower than the IDE drive. (It was running on an old Pentium II though). But for me the silent use was worth it, since the performance difference was minimal. You may see the same performance decrease on the newer adapter but YMMV.
P.S. - This is the arcade that's running on it:
Hope this helped!
