         CF170

For use in small form factor devices with demanding performance and capacity requirements, MLC-based microSDHC Class 10 and CF170 memory cards are reliable, fast high volume compact storage solution.

Manufactured using brand-name MLC NAND Flash chips, Transcend’s industrial use microSDHC cards guarantee performance and long-term stability over their consumer-grade TLC counterparts.

Combining advanced flash technology with the Class 10 speed rating, these cards provide read/write speeds of up to 20MB-16MB/s, losing nothing in transfer performance despite their tiny dimensions. Thanks to their fast data transfer rates, reliability, and available capacities of up to 32GB, microSDHC Class 10 cards are an OEM/bundle pack accessory for compact non-stop applications, including the latest digital cameras, DV recorders, mobile phones, and portable vehicle navigation systems.

Compliant with the latest CompactFlash 6.0 specification, new industrial CF170 CompactFlash cards boast high-speed transfer rates of up to 90MB/s and up to an extra large 64GB capacity. Offering compatibility across a range of platforms, such as outdoor vending machines, medical instruments, and road surveillance systems, CF170 CF cards can deliver performance under harsh environmental conditions, operating effectively between -25°C and 85°C. To further protect CF card data, built-in Advanced Power Shield technology directly monitors the host power input to prevent data loss in the event of a sudden power outage. Satisfying the demanding requirements of industrial applications, MLC-based CF170 CF cards include all the same industrial features as SLC flash based cards without the high cost.

To ensure quality, all Transcend industrial products undergo testing in all stages of production. In addition to offering shock and vibration resistance, Transcend’s industrial memory cards feature built-in ECC that helps detect and correct errors found during data transfer.

Transcend’s industrial use microSDHC Class 10 cards are offered in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities, while the industrial CF170 CompactFlash cards are available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities.
