As the title says... I am looking for reasonably priced CF-29 hard drive caddies... With or without hard drives... I already have enough stock Panny hard drives to outfit an army.... No need for them.... Heaters are a must though....
Please PM me with price, amount and availability!

Where do these mysterious caddies go?? It seems no one ever sells any and there are no computers with them on ebay. Who started the whole lets remove the caddy before we sell it fad?

When the laptop is sold, a simple format or 0 fill is either too time consuming ,or not deemed safe enough
The caddies are easy to remove and destroy, it costs money to deal with them, and in many situations it’s just our tax dollars lost
Fortunately there are spares available, but the market for spare parts is up and down
The last few months there has not been many around

As a law enforcement officer with over two decades I can assure that many times the profession is paranoid about technical things that the Administration does not understand.
A good example their frequencies of operation. In some agencies this was guarded like a secret of state to prevent criminals with scanners from monitoring them! The information is and was available from a variety of sources, the old "security through obscurity" routine. I have had to sit and pull the Xtal elements out of old MT-500 Motorolas to keep our Ops frequency "secure."
Let one Admin or decision maker hear of a HDD restore software that will read data that has been deleted and they will all follow in lockstep to destroy the HDD's.
I do not want to muddy up Toughbook's ad so just delete this if you like. Please read the purpose of the Ad in the top post. He needs CF-29 caddies, not HDD! -
Yeah... It is just too easy for them to remove the caddy and trash it. I'm assuming that some of these people think that the caddy has the hard drive "built into it" and therefore cannot be removed....
I wish I would have bought the batch of 50 years ago when they were cheap!
RAM is similar... I don't get it... Is the price governed by the price of silicone markets? You used to be able to buy a 1GB stick of DDR2 for $12.... Now it's $35 - $40... DDR was the expensive one.... Here again... Would have been a good investment looking back.
I need CF-29 caddies! No HD Needed
