Is it possible to use an IDE to sd adapter instead of a hdd?

[XVO]

Hi all,

Im still waiting for some parts to start the ultimate dreamcast mods. I'm waiting on stuff like the Dell modem and the blank chip for installing a second bios.
But that's no problem, it gives me some time to think about other possibilities within the dreamcast shell itself.
So yesterday I was thinking about these IDE mod, but I don't want to have a huge hdd inside the dreamcast shell. So I did some searching on Amazon for an "IDE to SD card adapter", it seems this things exist, but I want to know if someone else has tried this adapter and if he or she can tell me about their experience about using it.

Thanks

it only support IDE to CF i think, not IDE to SD, also DC serial port support SD card directly

I use IDE to CF and then CF to SD and it works great!

Thanks for answering my question. How is the reading speed over serial?

Edit, there are a lot of ide to cf drives.
@NeoSnk what brand is your reader?
I found a lot readers/converters on AliExpress, but don't know what brand will work.

Thanks
