Diamond Bar, Calif. – 9/24/2008 – Advanced Media, Inc., manufacturer and marketer of the popular Ridata brand of recordable DVD, flash media, electronic storage products, and digital accessories, is celebrating National Pet Peeve Week October 12 through 18. The company is reminding flash media users there is a solution to the annoying ‘too small/too slow’ pet peeves many of them have. The Ridata® 32GB/233x MLC Lightning CompactFlash® card boasts one of the largest capacities (32GB), fastest transfer rates (233x high-speed reading capability) available in a CF card.

“We are constantly hearing that flash media users get upset over wanting more storage and faster speeds,” remarked Harvey Liu, president of Advanced Media, Inc. “So as the nation takes note of National Pet Peeve Week during the second week of October, we are happy to point out that Ridata already has a viable, easy-on-the-budget solution: our 32GB/233x Lightning Series CompactFlash card with more data storage and faster read times. In today’s world of sophisticated mobile digital products, it makes sense.”

The Ridata 32GB/233X CF card is perfect for users of higher mega pixel digital cameras, MP3 players, and PDAs.

Its 233x high-speed reading capability equates to approximately 35MB/per sec, while the 100x high-speed writing capability is about 15MB/per second. (Note: Speeds may vary depending on device used.)

The Multi Level Cell (MLC) CF card includes many superior technical features Ridata products are known for. Some of these are: controller support for Ultra DMA Mode up to Mode 4; 8 or 16-bit host transfer support with any host speed using IORDY; and embedded Error Correction Code (ECC). The card also provides forward and backward functionality.

The Ridata 32GB/233x Lightning Series CF card is an excellent choice in solid-state mass-storage cards for hand-held devices or applications that require high-environmental tolerance. It offers flash technology ruggedness, reliability, performance, and convenience. An automatic power management feature assures low power consumption.
