Low Cost High Performance hard disk unit for ST family of computers - Page 2

You can have a look on first post, there are some details about working micro SD.

I guess a "small" size (8gb or less) from a well known brand is better. You will probably not need more than 8gb for your STE needs

Hi !
Great this interface ! On the other hand, it has been a long time since I touched my STE and above all I have never used a hard drive on my various STEs. I have always done the old fashioned way^^
So I have a noob question: what types of hard drives can be used on a STE with this interface? (IDE, ACSI, maximum capacity...). I guess it's ACSI but are such hard drives still in 2021 ??

As friend Fadest illustrates...

You only need a micro SD card; this device lets use any micro SD card as a compatible hard disk for your STE machine; as well the micro SD card is also readable under Windows / Linux.
(You can use your PC to copy / read content to the SD card, an use the copied content in your Atari STE)

Fadest (./24) :
C'est plus simple que ça :
Tu insères une micro SD card dans l'adaptateur et elle est reconnue comme un disque dur.

Oh ok !
Does the micro SD card have to respect certain specificities such as a maximum capacity ?

In any case, thank you for the details!

You can use almost any SD card size,

However, huge sizes such 32 , 64, 128 GB are relatively non sensei, due to you can use barely use 1 to 4 GB of them.

The ST/E computer can address 2^21 sectors in a disk, and each sector is usually 512 bytes or 1 KB

There are already built and tested units available!

Thank you for your answers !
Of course I know that a big SD won't be necessary. I was asking this because I already have a few at home that haven't been used for a long time and I wanted to know if I will be able to use them

Just to say that I just picked up the parcel at the post office (Hurray for shit opening hours).
I will set it up on Saturday.

Remember:

"How to" procedure:

1- Flash or deploy provided SD card image into an SD/SDHC card
(usually HP laptop SD card readers are not suitable)

2- Insert the SD card into the hard disk unit SD card slot

3- Connect the unpowered hard disk unit, into the ACSI port of
the unpowered Atari ST/E computer

4- Power up the hard disk unit

5- Few seconds after step 4, power up the Atari ST/E computer

6- Hard disk unit, and SD card partition will be usually detected;
due to its a bootable image

7- If the Atari ST/E falls into an empty desktop, perform a reset of the
computer. Normally the system will go to step 6 in these cases.

8- Enjoy!

I think I sent to you the complete "tracking number and additional information" message,

Greetings Kawickboy,

This device is compatible with MegaST and MegaSTE,

but due to I don´t have one of these Mega models,
there isn´t a ready to buy internal version.

Despite this, Mega models still have external hard disk port.

There are units available!

For MegaSTe with internal HDD, will it boot on the internal or on the ACSI2STM external device ?

What I would like to do is to copy the full content of my internal HDD to the external disk with kobold for exemple.
Is there any restriction ?

This hard disk unit operates in master mode only, no more hard disk units could be chained,
