If there’s one thing digital photographers and videographers know well, it’s the agony of running out of storage. To that end, Taiwain’s Pretec has introduced 64 and 100 GB 233x Compact Flash cards with access speeds up to 35 MB/s. Pretec is no stranger to the high-performance CF market: its 48 MB card was the previous “world record holder,” and its 33X 32 GB and 50 GB cards can handle up to 50 MB/s.
If 100 GB of storage isn’t enough for a single CF card, Pretec has a solution for that too: configure four 64 GB CD cards to create a 2.5-inch, 256 GB SATA drive using Q-SATA, a Pretec-proprietary technology that can configure up to four SF cards as an SSD drive.
Pretec is offering the 233X 64 GB and 333X 32 Gb CF cards now for suggested prices of $399 and $630, respectively, although they haven’t announced any pricing for the 100 GB CF card.
