CompactFlash Association Begins Work on Faster CompactFlash Interface

The CFA's new working group will develop a serial ATA interface for CompactFlash memory cards.


July 18, 2007


The CompactFlash Association (CFA) has announced the formation of a working group to develop a specification for CompactFlash cards with a serial ATA (SATA) interface. The implementation of a SATA interface would boost data transfer speeds, enabling faster performance in cameras that capture large images and use the CompactFlash memory card format, as well as speedier image downloads to computers and other storage devices. CompactFlash cards currently use a parallel data transfer interface with a limit of 133MB/second.
