“We are constantly hearing that flash media users get upset over wanting more storage and faster speeds,” remarked Harvey Liu, president of Advanced Media, Inc. “So as the nation takes note of National Pet Peeve Week during the second week of October, we are happy to point out that Ridata already has a viable, easy-on-the-budget solution: our 32GB/233x Lightning Series CompactFlash card. More data storage, faster read times. In today’s world of sophisticated mobile digital products, it makes sense.” The Ridata 32GB/233X CF card is perfect for users of higher megapixel digital cameras, MP3 players, and PDAs. Its ultra-large 32GB capacity allows more storage while virtually eliminating the nagging wait time for data to record. Designed to work with most devices and operating systems, it can withstand extreme operating temperatures, ranging from below freezing to excessive heat. Its 233x high-speed reading capability equates to approximately 35MB/per sec, while the 100x high-speed writing capability is about 15MB/per second. (Note: Speeds may vary depending on device used.) The Multi Level Cell (MLC) CF card includes many superior technical features Ridata products are known for. Some of these are: controller support for Ultra DMA Mode up to Mode 4; 8 or 16-bit host transfer support with any host speed using IORDY; and embedded Error Correction Code (ECC). The card also provides forward and backward functionality. The Ridata 32GB/233x Lightning Series CF card is an excellent choice in solid-state mass-storage cards for hand-held devices or applications that require high-environmental tolerance. It offers flash technology ruggedness, reliability, performance, and convenience. An automatic power management feature assures low power consumption.
