The Solid State SCSI SCSIFlash™ Drive is designed and manufactured by Reactive Group’s Solid State Disks Ltd (SSDL). 


  • Proprietary FPGA and industrial grade (SLC) CompactFlash technology are combined allowing the solid state SCSI 80 pin drive to appear on the host’s SCSI bus as a SCSI device.
  • The SCSIFLASH 3.5” 80 pin Disk Drive Emulator is form fit designed allowing the same mounting points to be used.
  • Allows attachment of CF Cards from 1GB to 256GB with the SCSI bus.
  • The device can be configured to be seen as any 3.5” SCSI 80 pin disk drive by the SCSI host.
  • Using only 5V the SCSIFlash drive offers low power.
  • Field upgradable microcode via integral comport.
  • If required, Reactive or a Reactive partner can offer optional integration support.
