14 DAY TRIAL // Touted as the “largest storage capacity CF card to date,” the 400X CompactFlash memory card introduced by Silicon Power promises to enable even the most experienced of professional photographers to take numerous and high-speed continuous shots without worrying about the possibility of running out of storage space. Not only does the card have a storage capability of 128GB, but it actually delivers write speeds capable of keeping up with modern cameras' continuous shots mode.
The 400X CF card has a write speed of up to 90MB/s and will “capture data in fractions of a second.” The card itself is fully capable of filling its 128GB with information that is accurate and error-free, thanks to the Error Correction Code (ECC) functionality with which it is built. In addition to the data accuracy provided by this technology, the product also boasts the Wear Leveling technology, which prolongs its lifespan and maintains an optimum performance.
The 128GB CF supports the Multi-Word DMA 4 transfer mode in quad channel configurations, as well as the PIO Mode-6. Furthermore, the high performance and reliability of the product are supplemented by its compliance with the European RoHS directive and its “100% green” design.
As more specific details go, the CF measures 36.4 mm x 42.8 mm x 3.3 mm and weighs between ten and 12 grams. It works in compliance with CF Association specifications, on 3.3V to 5V voltage and at temperatures of zero to 85 degrees Celsius.
Besides coming in the 128GB form, the card will also be available in versions of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. All models will withstand being plugged and unplugged for about 10,000 times and will handle a humidity of 8% to 95%. Furthermore, the storage temperatures supported range between -40 and 85 degrees Celsius.
While it is known that the product comes backed by a lifetime warranty, pricing details are still unavailable. Silicon Power is also offering 200X CF cards for devices such as DSLRs, DVs, PDAs and others.
