    I have a CF-H1 with no hard disk caddy, and one that has a caddy (which I have taken to bits, but could probably reassemble) but no disk. I'm looking at this hard disk: Transcend 1.8 SATA Panasonic Toughbook CF-H2 CF-H1 64GB Solid State Drive SSD | eBay

    Does this have the right connector to fit directly into the CF-H1 or will it need some messing about with the caddy and a ribbon cable? I've asked the seller but no reply - any hints you can give would be welcome before I decide to buy it.

    Capt,

    Are you a mod here now too? Is Blair still a mod?

    Thanks!

    I think Capt was referring to his own post that he edited....

    If anyone is wondering why this thread is still here it is because he never got an answer if the HDD he linked will fit in his CF-H1. Since I do not have one I am leaving it up to you guys :) .

    Now epa , if you are looking for a caddy then you need to post here ToughBook Buy Sell and Trade Forum but I can save you the trouble...you will not find any at all and by chance you do they will not be cheap, some times costing more than what you paid for just the CF-H1 :swoon: . My advice to you is to stay away from the ones with no caddy
