Synchrotech CompactFlash Memory Cards Industrial Grade
Synchrotech's Industrial Grade CompactFlash™ ATA Memory Cards are economical and good performance. These industrial grade cards feature extended temperature ranges with better shock and vibration resistance. Intended for industrial and military applications they make an excellent solid state alternative to hard drives for embedded systems.
CompactFlash Cards are designed specifically for mass storage. They include an intelligent controller providing these key features: flash media control, a PC Card ATA (IDE) interface, and a sophisticated defect and error management system. This system is analogous to those in magnetic disk drives, completely transparent to host devices, and consumes no user data space. CompactFlash Cards are 100% compatible with consumer electronics, operating systems, utilities, and application programs supporting IDE disk drives. Backed by Synchrotech's 2 year limited warranty and highly trained technical support, the only thing you will have to worry about is finding new uses for the card!
