Tipster Hitori Futari has come through for us once again with new pics, photos, and details on new PhotoFast hardware! No PhotoFast babes this time though, as Futari pointed out.

First of all, futari has informed us of several products that PhotoFast released recently (in Asia, at least - Futari doesn't know if and when they will be released in other regions): the long-awaited PSP dual adapter (CR-3100) and the other dual adapter, the CR-5400 which converts two microSDHC to one MS Pro Duo. Here's what Futari had to say about it:

32 GB mounted on the back of the PSP and switching memory sticks is an annoyance of the past. In my case it's enough for all my ROMs, ISOs, video and music files. That's more flash storage than most subnotebooks have. 64 GB is possible but it all depends on the PSP firmware which might set the limit lower.

He also provided us with new info on PhotoFast's new SSD Drives. Essentially, these drives allow you to build a low-cost SSD with just a few flash memory cards. Here's a quick overview from Futari:

CR-9000 SSD SATA RAID 0 - 2.5" harddrive enclosure for max. six SDHC memory cards
CR-7500 SSD SATA RAID 1, NRAID - 2.5" harddrive enclosure for max. two Compact Flash cards
CR-7300 SSD SATA/miniUSB RAID 0/1 - adapter card for one Compact Flash card,
max. capacity 2TB(!)
CR-1000 series - adapters for one Compact Flash card to SATA, IDE, ZIF or CF 50 Pin
Both drives are user configurable "adapter-drives" (basically an adapter card in a 2.5" alu harddrive case).
CR-9000 can take up to 6 SDHC memory cards (max. 6x32 GB = 192 GB) and CR-7500 holds 2 CF cards.
SATA interface, RAID capable, shock-proof and energy-saving cause there are no moving parts. Perfect for laptops and subnotebooks.

No retail prices have been announced yet, but Futari believes it'll be cheaper than available SSDs in the market. With the new CR-9000 PhotoFast gave him (nice), he also did a couple of benchmark tests. Here are the results of the drive being tested on a MacBook Pro (Tiger 10.4 basic install), followed by pics of the new CR-9000 and his benchmark photos:

Bootup time from cold boot:

75 secs in total until all icons on desktop available and system ready
(57 secs until desktop first appears)

OS X startup bar:

20 secs to complete

Shutdown time:

17 secs

Weight:

Macbook Pro 100GB Hitachi 2.5" HDD 7200rpm: 113g
CR-9000 (empty): 67g
1 SDHC card: 2g

If you live in the EU, ReJoy.se resells PhotoFast products. They don't say anything about shipping over seas though, so we might be out of luck here in the USA.

http://www.rejoy.se/psp-photofast-ms-pro-duo-adapter-p-1658.html

Right now they only have the CR-5300 which only accepts one MicroSDHC

Also, some product corrections. I've been tooling around on www.photofast.tw and found a couple of things are contrary to what people have been saying here.

First, the MS adapters are normal MS Pro Duo size so the will fit perfectly inside the PSP MS card slot and not stick out at all.

Second, the CR-3100 which attaches to the USB bolt holes and hangs on the back of the PSP accepts two SD cards or MicroSD-SD adapters, NOT two MS size cards. So, if you get your hands on a CR-3100 DO NOT BUY two CR-5400s expecting them to be compatible, you'll be wasting your money. You will want to buy two 16GB SD cards to reach advertised maximum storage of 32GB.
