HIGH PERFORMANCE

High performance is ensured via SLC NAND flash and state-of-the-art controller technology. Additional customized features allow for optimized performance in small sector write applications.

HIGHEST CAPACITY

STEC's patented IC Tower® Stacking Technology make it possible to provide the highest capacity CompactFlash in the industry, up to 16GB with 32GB supported in the near Future.

HIGH RELIABILITY

STEC's proprietary state-of-the-art flash memory controllers provide high data reliability and endurance. The built-in ECC engine can detect up to 5-byte errors and correct up to 4-byte errors, while sophisticated wear leveling algorithms guarantee +2M Write/Erase Cycles. Based on SLC Flash and high quality components, STEC Compact Flash solutions provide an unparalleled MTBF of more than 8,000,000 hrs. In the event of host system power loss, data integrity is further assured via STEC's power-down data protection methodology ensuring that critical data is not lost or corrupted.

COMPATIBILITY

For applications requiring an IDE interface, compatibility is ensured by the Compact Flash card's ATA and True IDE support. The CompactFlash cards can also operate in legacy PIO modes as well as DMA. Because STEC develops its own controller and firmware, the CompactFlash cards can be adapted to meet a wide variety of timing and software requirements.

FORM FACTOR

CompactFlash cards can be used to interface with a host system via the standard 50-pin CF connector or a standard 68-pin PCMCIA connector when using the STEC PCMCIA adaptor.

SECURITY

STEC's TotalDriveProtection provides multiple levels of security including password write-protection (enabled in hardware and software), read-protection, secure partitioning, and custom ID strings to allow customers to protect preloaded content from piracy.

STANDARD COMPLIANCE

STEC's CompactFlash cards comply with CE requirements, FCC standards, and have been approved by the UL organization. The cards are also provided in full lead-free (RoHS-6) designs for worldwide deployment.
