dear jimi....summer talking ...
your question (already treated in this forum even if died in nothing ...) pertinent and very shareable, in so many canon ML fans and not novices, they have already done it in 2013 (search google and you'll see) already then the problem of enormous convenience in terms of space / registration as well as economic are raised , to use harddisk instead of the "small" expensive cf to record in raw! and in addition to experiments with cables and wires, there are also flowers of the cf (pcmcia) card adapters where theoretically it was possible to connect small IDE hardisk ... but all the speeches died in nothing ... we are in 2019, at the gates of 2020, and you're absolutely right !! impossible that today with all the news, fast ssd, cards and chips of all kinds and modes, no one has finally churned out a suitable adapter to connect the small ssd finally allowing good use of the elite RAW canons, as well as in the canon compressed formats of course! ....
in fact one thing is very clear .. it is certainly not the CF connector and their internal circuits to the canon, the problem ... but only and exclusively external. that is, you need an adaptation that allows you to power and connect a SSD hard disk.
why nobody did it? probably because CANON itself never wanted to have it come, tapping its mouth and experiments on the spot ... pity that not even the nonconformists without Russian and Chinese rules, have not given us anything today. I believe that by now you can forget something like that, and of course ... that a cf128 gb still costs 80 or more euros ... it is a huge great shame as well as the price with which panasonic continues to sell P2 (and not mini!) ... the world is rotten for that too!
