Pretec Panther series CompactFlash Card uses NAND-Type flash memory devices, which leads to its remarkable high performance and comes with capacities from 128MB to 4GB unformatted.
Compliant with ISA (Industrial Standard Architecture) bus interface standard, the CompactFlash Card performs sequential read/write for each sector (512 bytes) count. It also conforms to CompactFlash specification and is designed with precision mechanics to enable host devices to read/write from the CompactFlash interface into Flash Media. It can operate with a 3.3V or 5V single power from the host side. It is designed for a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
The card provides extraordinary memory medium for PC or other CF compatible electric equipments and digital still camera, and, in particular, Pretec Panther series CompactFlash Card has been approved through various compatibility tests to be used in numerous portable desktop, notebook computers and personal handheld devices such as handheld video/audio recorders, PDAs, Palm sized PCs, Handheld PCs and Auto PCs under industrial environment.
Pretec CompactFlash Card is the most popular memory card in the industrial storage field. With ATA compatible characteristics, it is used as a hard drive or bootable device. Because of its dedicated flash controller and durable metal housing, Pretec CF cards can withstand harsh environments and a wide range of temperatures to assure full protection of your data.
