My suggestion is that you buy one of these (or similar) because even though the price tag is jacked up, they have fixed-disk mode and I'm pretty sure the card will not be the source of str("PROBLEM"). See this PDF for a brochure.

They are made with SLC (Single Layer Cell) flash chips, not MLC which is what most stuff is these days. SLC (according to what they say) lasts longer, but is more expensive and has a lower density (less capacity per unit area). Still, good quality MLC should outlast the lifespan of the device by 200% if it's not abused.

I'm sure there might be other brands with Fixed Disk Mode enabled media but Transcend is the only one I personally know of.

EDIT: Also you'll most likely have to break a pin off that thing for it to fit. Should be...Pin 20, IIRC, I'd have to look at my CF-IDE adapter in the soon-to-be-retired 2300cTB.
