CarnEvil Replacement Hard Drive CF Card Kit

CarnEvil shipped from the factory with a mechanical hard drive.  These spinning disks are destined to fail taking your arcade down.  When the hard disk eventually fails the data will most likely be lost.

This CarnEvil replacement hard drive replaces your CarnEvil arcade hard disk with a reliable compact-flash card (CF card) and IDE adapter.  This completely eliminates the mechanical spinning drive and the IDE ribbon cable.  The drive plugs directly into the game PCB for long term reliability.

• Reliability: Mechanical hard drives are prone to wear and tear due to their moving parts. By eliminating the spinning drive, the CarnEvil replacement provides a more dependable storage option, minimizing the risk of failure and data loss.
• Simplified Installation: The drive easily plugs directly into the game’s printed circuit board (PCB), streamlining the installation process. This user-friendly design ensures that arcade enthusiasts can quickly and efficiently upgrade their systems without extensive technical knowledge.
• Enhanced Performance: Compact flash cards generally offer faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard drives, which can result in improved game loading times and overall system responsiveness.

By upgrading to the CarnEvil replacement hard drive, arcade owners can ensure that their machines continue to perform optimally for years to come.

NOTICE: All kits are tested working before shipping.  The two most common issues are caused by 1) Plugging the drive in upside down, and; 2) your 5V power is either not connected or is faulty.
