http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid ... -R&cpc=SCH


This is the exact one I have been using for 6 months now with no problems..... They hadan 8 gb version, but I did not think I needed that plus my 60gb hd..... Good luck.... The only prob I have encountered is this card does not fit in alot of ext card readers, but if you connect your MPC to your cpu directly it will not cause you any problems.....

Specs on the card are:
Seagate 5GB ST1 Drive
Model: ST650211CF

General Features:
5 GB capacity
Type II CF+ interface
3600 RPM speed
2 MB buffer
16.0 ms average seek time (Read)
8.3 ms average latency


These cardscan now be found on Ebay for $17 with free shipping....


yeah I got 2 of 'em for a total of $27 shipping and all. would be cool to have 2 so I can load samps in a card reader and use the other in the MPC. not a bad price for 10 gigs.

I'm still gonna get the HD bracket I gotta spare laptop HD layin around here somewhere

you DEFINITELY have not been looking, then. total time for me to decide i need one, find where to get it, go buy it, and load a jdilla song to chop up and call my own: like 20 minutes.

LOL...... Like I said, I only tried 2....... I can access the cards through the card reader on my printer so that has been fine. I am glad it has worked out for you...

i got a grip of 4gb cards for like 10 euros each...they all work fine, but i made sure i formatted on the mpc to avoid the dreaded directory errors...

I use these in my 500,1000+2500 with no problems. The 6gb one is full, and it stays in my 500. They work. Cop One.
