Simple Technology heeft vandaag laten weten dat zij momenteel de grootste CompactFlash kaartjes bouwen en verkopen, kaartjes met 512MB aan ruimte. Dit is flink veel meer als de vorige grootste Flash kaart die het slechts met 512Mbit moest doen, 64MB dus. Iets minder is de prijs die met 1.599 dollar aan de zware kant is, maar als je bijvoorbeeld al in het bezit bent van een digitale camera van duizenden dollars kan ik me voorstellen dat sommige mensen dan ook best wat over hebben voor 512MB aan ruimte:
Simple Technology, Inc. announced today that it has taken the lead in offering the highest capacity CompactFlashä card in the world. Simple Technology's new 512MB CompactFlash card type II uses Simple Technology's proprietary Stacking Technology.
"This is another product showcasing Simple Technology's leadership in Flash card technology and high-density packaging," said Manouch Moshayedi, chief executive officer of Simple Technology. "With the introduction of the 512 we have surpassed global competition in the high density CompactFlash card."
Today's highest-density Flash component is a 512 MBIT chip which is equal to 64MB of storage," said Mark Moshayedi the chief technology officer of the company. "We combined this latest silicon wafer with our own patented IC Tower Ô stacking technology and produced the highest density CompactFlash card available in the world, this card also uses a high speed controller which allows write speeds of up to 3.0MB per second."
Simple Technology's high-density 512MB card is ideal for a variety of markets, ranging from professional digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and other consumer products. Industrial applications include the telecommunications, networking and embedded computing where the size, reliability and durability of our solid state CompactFlash cards are needed. "Serving this class of products to such a wide variety of users - OEMs to consumers - is only possible through a comprehensive network of engineering, manufacturing and focused sales and marketing channels, said Jeanclaude Toma, vice president of marketing at Simple Technologyä.
