Compact Flash
CompactFlash cards
are designed with Flash
memory, are PCMCIA-ATA
functional. They are non-volatile
and solid
state, thus more durable than disk drives, and consume
around 5% of the power required by small disk drives. They
operate at 3.3V & 5V power levels, and can be swapped from
system to system. CF supports capacities from 8MB to 3GB. CF
cards are able to cope with extremely rapid changes in
temperature. Industrial versions of CF cards can operate at a
range of -45C to +85C.
Used most often in palm devices (which won't take larger
form-factor cards), digital cameras, and a wide variety of other
uses, including desktop machines.
Comes
in several different varieties:
CF
I (3.3mm thick)
CF
II (5mm thick)
CF+
specification.
The
CF version 2.0 specification supports 16MB/sec data-transfer at
capacities up to 137GB.
