APRO CFast™ Flash Cards with SATA interface

The traditional CF standard adopts PATA standard with maximum transfer speed of 133MB/s which will soon become the bottleneck for the ever increased speed demand of SSD. CFast™is developed by CompactFlash Association (www.compactflash.org) to break the speed limit from 133MB/s (PATA) to 375MB/s (SATA) while keep the small and popular original CF mechanical form factor.  

APRO is one of the pioneer to offer this new generation of flash cards. APRO CFast™Storage Card contains a single chip controller and flash memory module(s) in a matchbook-sized package with a 7+17-pin connector that consists of a SATA compatible 7 pin signal connector and a 17 pin power and control connector. This single chip controller interfaces with a host system allowing data to be written to and read from the flash memory module(s). Measured only 36mmX43mm,  CFast™Storage Card is the smallest SATA interfaced SSD in the world.

The transfer speed of the APRO CFast™Storage Card is up to 160MB/s, about 300% faster than the fastest CF card today. Merited to such hasty speed & small size offered by APRO CFast™, professional photographers can now make the best use of high-end cameras and ultimate technology image devices by relishing continuous shots without waiting time for catching up; Industrial, embedded or PC users such as IPC, Mobile Internet Device (MID), and Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) can now simultaneously obtain the desirable features of next generation fast, small and reliable mobile storage.

APRO CFast™Storage Card is available now up to 16GB. Higher capacity up to 64GB capacity will be released soon. Specifications and data sheet of these CFast cards will be available soon.
