CompactFlashTM (CF) cards can be used similar to Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) via an IDE ⇔
CompactFlash TM connector because CF cards support ATA (IDE) standards for HDDs. However, when a CF card is used in IDE Mode, there are some problems with compatibility with the host BIOS and chipset, and with master/ slave detection. TDK provides industrial-use and
embedded CompactFlash TM cards with excellent reliability and compatibility that are equipped with TDK GBDriver® RA8 and SLC flash memory.
TDK has provided such products to over 200 companies in Japan
