SanDisk Corporation just announced it is doubling the capacity of its CompactFlash 5000 flash memory cards for industrial markets. In addition to fast read and write speeds, the cards provide a high level of durability and reliability for mission-critical applications such as industrial PCs, medical instruments, military applications, point-of-sale (POS) equipment and gaming machines.
The new 16 GB high-performance CompactFlash 5000 card was unveiled today at CeBIT 2008.
With twice the capacity of its 8GB CompactFlash introduced last spring, SanDisk’s 16GB flash card uses binary memory, designed by SanDisk specifically for mass storage applications, to achieve a sustained read and write performance of up to 30 megabytes (MB) per second. It supports a transfer mode of up to UDMA 4, an industry standard that enables high data transfer rates and includes performance boosters and on-the-fly error detection.
According to the company, especially Mission-critical devices such as medical instruments and industrial PCs can benefit from SanDisk Corporation’s new 16-gigabyte Industrial Grade CompactFlash card.
