Why Compact Flash?

 Four reasons.

1. It's the most popular Flash Media in the United States and worldwide countries.

2. It's built rugged and durable for continuous usage and handling and it's about as small as a matchbook.

3. Unlike other media, Compact Flash can currently reach above one gigabyte.

4. Price. Compact Flash is very affordable compared to some other Flash storage devices.

Why trust your valuable information to anything less? You need to have confidence in the product you buy so you can chronicle that amazing sunset, your child's first steps, or that huge fish you caught!

Also, Compact Flash isn't necessarily for images or music storage, it can also be a factor in the office place. With the increasing omission of 3.5" drives from CPU's by the top manufacturers, Compact Flash can fill this gap. Coupled with a PQI USB Reader, CF can be loaded with that important brief that you need to take to your meeting. Downloading takes only moments compared to floppies. Remember that the next time you're late for a meeting.
