  • Capacity16GB
  • 16 GB capacity for extended shooting sessions

16GB CompactFlash card for legacy systems

This 16GB CompactFlash card uses a 50-pin Parallel ATA interface and delivers read speeds up to 26MB/s and write speeds up to 17MB/s. It is rated at 174x and built to commercial-grade standards for industrial or embedded equipment. The card suits older cameras, industrial PCs and devices that still accept the original CF form factor.

Suits legacy gear; not for modern cameras or SSDs

Photographers or videographers who need the higher sustained throughput demanded by current high-resolution cameras should look elsewhere. The card also does not fit devices that require CFast, CFexpress or SD formats. Users wanting solid-state storage for a modern motherboard will need a different interface altogether.

50-pin Parallel ATA interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 50-pin Parallel ATA connection. If the target device accepts a standard CompactFlash card on a PATA bus, this 16GB unit will work; if the slot is CFast, CFexpress, SD or any other format, it will not.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-pin CompactFlash connector wear out with repeated insertions?

The card uses a standard 50-pin CompactFlash connector rated for thousands of insertion cycles; normal camera or reader use will not wear it out within the card's service life.

What limits sustained write performance during long bursts?

The card's sustained write speed is 17 MB/s; continuous shooting or video recording will hit this ceiling before the Parallel ATA bus reaches its 125 MB/s potential.

Does the card run hot or draw extra power during all-day shooting?

CompactFlash cards are passive solid-state devices with no moving parts; they generate minimal heat and draw very little power even during continuous read or write activity.
