January 2, 2008 Advanced Media, Inc., is a manufacturer and marketer of the popular RIDATA brand of recordable CD and DVD media, electronic storage products, and digital media accessories. The company is introducing the first Smart Compact Flash TM Cards at CES 2008.

We are pleased to introduce the RIDATA SMART CompactFlash Card, which is the first of its kind in the industry, stated Harvey Liu, Advanced Media president. The flash memory market is growing quickly due to the number of new applications that use flash media for storage. As capacity continues to increase, RIDATA saw the need for an internal data monitoring system to ensure the safety of your data.

It features innovative functionalities such as SelfMonitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology so users can easily monitor the CF cards status. The card is capable of providing notification to users in real time to protect vital information and data.

It also offers maximum endurance of 100,000 times of program/erase cycles. Its embedded Error Correction Code ECC supports two random bits of a sector onthefly ECC corrections.

Compatibilities
Ridatas Smart Card conforms to the CompactFlash Association Standard, the PC Card standard and is PC Card ATA and true IDE Mode compatible. It is also host ATA disk I/O BIOS DOS/Windows file system, utilities and application software compatible. The controller supports Ultra DMA Mode to Mode 4. Also supported is CIS implemented with 256 bytes of attributed memory. Lastly it supports 8 or 16 bit host transfers with any host speed using Input/Output channel ReaDY IORDY.

Power Savings
Another feature of the RIDATA Smart CompactFlashTM Card is its low power consumption. In standby mode with an automatic power management function, users acquire longer battery life from a digital camera or other device. The nonvolatile card requires no power to store data, but requires a 3.3V/5V single power supply to read and write data.

File Systems
Regarding the 4GB, 8GB and 16GB CF cards, users should use the cards on devices that support a FAT32 file system. Some older devices only support FAT16 file system and these systems have a maximum capacity of a 2GB CF card. Please refer to the owners manual for the devices file system compatibility.
