CFast-Slide2

The CFast card is the latest generation of removable storage cards borne of the popular CompactFlash card. In designing the new form factor, the CompactFlash Association (CFA) has responded to the needs of electronic equipment makers for hot swapping, lower power consumption, compatibility with SATA devices, and faster transfer of data between host device and memory card. The CFast standard is based on the SATA bus, rather than the Parallel ATA (PATA) IDE bus upon which all previous versions of CompactFlash devices are designed. 3M has been an active member of the CFA since the late-1990s and a key contributor to the development of 3M connectors for the CompactFlash standard.
