ATP Offers Up Ultra Fast CF Cards

The new ProMax CF cards, the company said, will reportedly have a transfer rate of 30MB/sec (150x) and are geared towards high end digital cameras.

ATP Electronics, a maker of flash digital media solutions, announced today a new CompactFlash card which they say is the fastest CF card out there today. The ATP ProMax CF cards will be available in starting in January with storage capacity sizes of 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB, with a 4GB following later in the quarter.

ATP said their ProMax CF cards, which are water and shock resistant, are rated at 30MB/sec (150x). Targeted towards high end photographic needs, these cards are designed to work with high mega-pixel digital SLR cameras and video camcorders such as Nikon Digital SLR cameras D2X, D2H, D200, D100 and D70, as well as Canon EOS series SLR cameras and others from JVC, camcorders or Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D cameras.

“Our ProMax CF card is perfect for today’s SLR digital cameras that capture video in addition to digital still images,” said Tim Hsieh, ATP President. “The ATP ProMax CF cards can keep up with a camera’s video recording mode as well as continuous shooting mode in still image mode. The resulting benefit to the consumer is that he or she can continue capturing content without fear of performance or quality degradation. This new ProMax CF cards nicely complement our existing ProMax SD and MMC cards, and our high speed ToughDrive USB 2.0 flash drive product line.”
