Ridata CompactFlash® Cards are commonly used in DSLR cameras, PDAs, and MP3 players. The 600X speed is a reliable option for these applications in addition to using it like a hard drive to boot-up an operating system or to support an embedded storage device, kiosks, point-of-sale computing, and multimedia equipment such as security surveillance systems to record video from single or multi-channels.
Ridata CompactFlash® card 600X is non-volatile memory with error correction embedded. It supports CIS implementation with 256 bytes of attribute memory, plus 8- or 16-bit host transfers with any host speed using IORDY. In addition, it is compatible with host ATA disk I/O BIOS, DOS/Windows File System, and application software. The controller inside supports Ultra DMA Mode up to Mode 6 and the power consumption is 3.3V/5V with automatic power management.
The internal testing resulted in a 94MB per second Read and a 92MB per second Write for the 600X 16GB Ridata CompactFlash® card. The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is 1 million power hours, endurance levels of 100,000 times, and durability measurements of 10,000 insertion and removal cycles.
