Compact Flash
Compact Flash Card (CF) is a type of data storage device, especially useful for portable electronic devices. It can be used directly in a CF Card Slot with an adapter. It uses Flash Memory. Based on physical characteristics, there are two types of Flash Cards: Type I (3.3mm thick) and thicker Type II (CF2) cards (5 mm thick).
First produced by SanDisk in 1994, the Compact Flash Card is one of the first and oldest and most successful brands and is now used for a variety of products including laptops, portable audio recorders and computers desktop and cameras.
Flash Memory devices use much less energy and still have a good transfer rate. You can also change from one system to another. They are also designed to adapt to rapid changes in temperature or voltage. The storage capacity varies from one card Compact Flash 128 MB to around 64 GB. However, 256 MB and 2 GB are the most popular choices in Europe.
Flash Memory has a specific quality allows a portion of its memory cells are erased in an instant "unique, very reminiscent of a function of Camera Flash. This reminds us of the ease with which Data erasure can be carried out, freeing space for the recording of new data on it. Nonvolatile flash memory and be solid state may be erased and rewritten electrically. Flash memory allows multiple memory locations to be erased or written in one programming operation. Therefore, it can work to read much faster access. Better shock resistance than hard disks is another of his useful feature. Features how are you doing these cards much preferable to the others, such as battery-powered devices.
A limitation of this card is that the memory be easily rewritable, can be overwritten without prior warning, leading to data loss. System failure, power fluctuations, corruption accident caused by hardware or software malfunction are the limitations of others.
Flash memory stores one bit of information in a matrix of transistors, called "cells." Compact Flash Cards are built based on the type of logic gate used in each storage cell and therefore are of two types: NOR flash and NAND flash. Recently, without However, some flash memory devices, devices called multi-level cell can store more than one bit per cell. NOR Flash cell has two gates, the Gate Control and floating gate. NAND Flash has a different mechanism of tunnel injection for writing and tunnel release for erasing.
Market demand today is leaning toward the least expensive NAND flash.
