RiTDATA Technology Inc has released the “CompactStor”, a tiny portable mechanical hard disk drive, for portable electronic devices in the industry-standard CF+ Type II form factor (ATA compliant). CompactStor is a micro storage media for portable digital IA (Information Appliance) products such as cellular phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, e-books, etc…
CompactStor also applies for embedded systems and data collection (POS, process control, measurement, robotics) for industrial and defence applications. In addition, the cost to store data on a CompactStor drive remains very low in comparison with other cards using Flash technology. CompactStor is available in two capacities: 1.1GB and 1.6GB, and RITDATA plans to expand the capacity up to 6GB.
