Transcend recently announced an 8GB Ultra Speed
version of its Industrial-Grade CompactFlash Memory Card. The card is resistant to shock, vibration and dust and can operate at
temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 85ºC.
Transcend, a worldwide leader in flash memory cards, today announced a new Ultra
Speed version of its successful Industrial CompactFlash memory card lineup with capacities up to 8GB. Transcend’s Industrial CF cards
are specially designed to meet the strict demands of high-end equipment and machines that run at extreme temperatures. The operating
temperature range of Industrial CF cards is much better than normal CF cards, with full functionality down to -40ºC and as hot as 85ºC
(normal CF Cards are only rated at -25ºC to 85ºC). Aside from their excellent temperature flexibility, these cards are exceptionally
resistant to shock, vibration and dust, while consuming less power and maintaining ultra fast data transfer speeds. Their superb
compatibility and durability makes them suitable for use in standard PCMCIA-ATA equipped devices such as industrial PCs, embedded
systems, medical instruments, factory automation systems, network infrastructures and other industrial equipment. In addition, Industrial
CF cards can even be used as bootable disks in place of conventional hard drives that cannot withstand the harsh conditions of an
industrial environment.
