Yes, however the vast majority of them are SATA, and my laptop only has an
IDE HDD bay. I can get Sony brand 32GB 40MBPS CF cards here at Fry's
Electronics for $22.99 ($9.99 for 16GB), and the CF to IDE tray cost me just
under $6.
My present HDD is a 30GB, and with all of the applications I have
installed I'm using less than 10GB, so even 32GB is more than sufficient.
Now I just need cloning software.
