Compact Flash was the world's smallest removable mass storage device. First introduced in 1994. Compact Flash cards weigh a half ounce and are the size of a matchbook. They provide complete PCMCIA-ATA functionality and compatibility. At 43mm (1.7") x 36mm (1.4") x 3.3mm (0.13"), the device's thickness is less than one-half of a current PCMCIA Type II card. It is actually one-fourth the volume of a PCMCIA card. Compared to a 68-pin PCMCIA card, a CFcard has 50 pins but still conforms to ATA specs.

The technology

CF cards are designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution that does not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. CF storage products are solid state, meaning they contain no moving parts, and provide users with much greater protection of their data than conventional magnetic disk drives.
