Taiwanese
manufacturer Apacer Technology in conjunction with SST of Sunnyvale, California
have announced a CompactFlash card designed specifically to improve write
performance. The new card is claimed to have a write speed of up to 4
MB/sec, it achieves this by multi-tasking the write process to four commands
at a time. The card will be priced higher than normal cards and we have
yet to see if its performance lives up to its billing. Remember that Compact
Flash write performance is heavily dependent on the throughput of the
digital camera's CPU and CF interface, this new card would probably only
be useful for high-end D-SLR users.
