PSI / C1-Tech PCMCIA ATA Flash Card


   
  

Product Overview

The Series H/T ATA Flash PC card is a Flash memory technology based, ATA interface, Type I/II PC card using NAND-based Flash memory devices.

The NAND Flash memory technology combine with DSP-based controller chip makes it possible for the Series H/T ATA Flash PC card to achieve a higher capacity, better performance, more compact, and lower cost removable storage device ideal for mobile computing applications.

The Series H/T ATA Flash PC card has been tested fully compatible with the industry PCMCIA 2.1 and PC Card ATA standards. The Type I/II ATA Flash PC card supports full IDE hard disk emulation with bootable capability and yet uses less than 10 percent of the power required by rotating, magnetic hard disk drives. The fact that it is built with solid-state memory makes it extremely reliable and rugged with 1000G operating and non-operating shock rate.
