CF Card, CF Memory Card
CF Memory Card (Compact Flash Card)is the
world's most popular removable mass storage device. CF Cards are
designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution that does not
require a battery to retain data indefinitely. It was developed by SanDisk
in 1994 that uses flash memory to store data on a very small card. A CF
card makes data easy to add to a wide variety of computing devices,
including digital cameras and music players, desktop computers, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), digital audio recorders, and photo printers.
CF Card measures 43 X 36 mm (about the size of a matchbook)
and is available with storage capacities ranging up to 16
gigabyte (GB),
with higher capacities corresponding to higher prices. There are two different
types of CF cards, of different thicknesses (to accomodate different capacities):
Type I CF cards are 3.3 mm thick, compared to 5.5 mm for Type II cards.
