Recently, KingSpec launched video products CF card, with PATA interface and ATA/ATAPI-8 signal interface. CompactFlash (CF) is the most successful memory card format in the early days, which is first manufactured by Sandisk in 1994. This product is mainly aimed at the professional imaging product market: SLR cameras, video cameras and some industrial automation machines, etc.

The CF card is divided into two types: Type I and Type II. Except for the difference in thickness between the two (Type I thickness is 3.3mm, Type II thickness is 5.0mm), they are all connected to the host computer or the inside of CF card reader via 50 tiny perfectly arranged pins. Currently, KingSpec's CF card is Type I. UDMA7 provides a high-performance bus speed (read speed) of up to 150MB/s theoretically.

I believe that you have noticed that KingSpec has recently launched a new video card: CFast memory card. Is it difficult for you to distinguish between CF card and CFast (CompactFlash) card? Even take it for granted that the CF card is the CFast card, or that the two are the relationship of replacements. But in fact, CFast card and CF card are two different grades of products. So, what are the differences between the two?

1. Pin Comparison

The CF card is connected to the host or the inside of the CF card reader through 50 pin holes, which are easily bent. Whereas CFast cards use a female 7-pin SATA data connector and a female 17-pin power connector.
