Suitable CF cards are NOT rare at all -- very commonly available (eg. Amazon). They are more expensive than some other options, but they are the ONLY media that is pretty much guaranteed to work in the empegs.
Roger (not me) did get lucky with an mSATA adapter though.

Ok, I was going by your post here. Didn't work, eh?
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/361709/2013_Impreza_Wagon_install#Post361709I'll see if I can find what Roger's using. Hey Roger, what adapter are you using?
And yeah, I withdraw the "rare" part of my statement about CF cards, but damn they're expensive per Gb - $117 for a 128gb card is more than this cheap bastard wants to spend. It's a shame the IDE<->SD adapters are so sketchy, because a 128gb Samsung MicroSD card is 18 bucks!
Interestingly, I can buy a 320gb WD PATA drive for about the same price as a 128gb CF card.
