Delkin Shipped Samples of CFexpress Cards to OEMs

Delkin Devices, Inc. shipped more samples of its CFexpress cards to OEMs.

Market providers in consumer and embedded markets are continuing to show interest in this new form factor, based on an open specification standard managed by the CF association and unlimited speed of the PCIe interface.

What is Industrial Cfexpress?
Industrial CFexpress 1.0 (AKA Industrial CFX) is the next generation of high speed, removable storage standard to support bigger, faster hosts in many different markets. Industrial CFexpress is the merging of two standards: XQD 2.0 and CFAST 2.0, into a new standard that uses the PCIe interface, and the NVM Express protocol. This standard is designed to allow high resolution files, and high-speed recording with low latency, be achieved in a small rugged form factor.

Advantages of CFexpress? Why design this in?
Industrial CFexpress will allow many hardware manufactures to use the established high-performance benefits of PCIe and NVMe in a compact, removable form factor. Performance of Industrial CFexpress will start out PCIe 3.0_2 (two-lanes) with the possibility to scale to x8 (eight-lanes) in the future. The big story on CFX is the speed as above 1GB/s can be achieved.
