The CFast™ card combines the CompactFlash™ (CF) card form factor with a Serial ATA (SATA) interface. With this merging of two industry standards, the CFast™ card specification was created to replace existing hard drives and CompactFlash™ in applications requiring small form factors, long life endurance and the ability to withstand shock, vibration, extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C), high altitude and other aggressive environments.

Swissbit’s CFast™ is designed to provide rugged storage for embedded and industrial systems. In these markets, performance, data and system reliability, system downtime, power fail robustness and flexibility are important design considerations.

The CFast™ card operates with 3.3 Volt low power source and supports three SATA power management states: Active, Partial and Slumber. This standard is a perfect choice for both, boot devices and removable applications, where low to medium storage densities (up to 64GB) are required and the physical size of conventional mechanical or solid state hard drives are impractical. Certainly, the Swissbit CFast™ card comes with full engineering and customizing support and life time monitoring features, like S.M.A.R.T. with our intelligent flash managing algorithms and error correction, the latest F-200 Series will continue to provide the same reliability parameters using 32nm Flash instead of 4xnm technology while offering competitive pricing and SLC memory densities.
