FAQs

What is MLC NAND flash memory?

MLC (Multi-Level Cell) NAND flash memory stores more data per cell compared to SLC (Single-Level Cell), offering a good balance of capacity, performance, and cost. It is known for its durability and reliability in consumer and prosumer devices.

What does '133x' speed rating mean?

The '133x' speed rating is a multiplier based on the original CompactFlash standard of 150 KB/s. Therefore, 133x translates to approximately 20 MB/s (133 * 150 KB/s / 1024 KB/MB).

Can I use this card in a CompactFlash Type II slot?

Yes, CompactFlash Type I cards, like this one, are backward compatible and can be used in CompactFlash Type II slots. However, a Type II slot does not offer any speed advantage for a Type I card.

How do I use the RecoveRx software?

RecoveRx software is provided by Transcend for data recovery. Download and install it on your computer, connect the card reader with the CompactFlash card inserted, and follow the on-screen instructions within the software to scan for and recover lost or deleted files.

What is the temperature range for operation?

The Transcend CompactFlash 133x 32GB card is designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C (-13°F to +185°F).

Does this card require a card reader?

Yes, to transfer data from the CompactFlash card to a computer, you will need a CompactFlash card reader that connects to your computer via USB or another interface.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by device

Ensure the card is properly inserted. Try formatting the card in the device (backup data first). Check if the device firmware is up to date. Test the card in another compatible device.

Data cannot be written to the card

Verify that the card is not full. Check if the write-protect tab on the card (if applicable to older CF standards) is in the locked position. Format the card (backup data first).

Slow performance or read/write errors

Ensure the device supports the card's speed rating (Ultra DMA Mode 4). Remove and reinsert the card. Format the card (backup data first). Use RecoveRx software to check card health.

Files corrupted or missing

Use Transcend's RecoveRx software to attempt recovery. Format the card (backup data first) and avoid using it if corruption persists. This may indicate a failing card.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insertion: Gently insert the CompactFlash card into the compatible memory card slot of your camera or camcorder. Ensure correct orientation to avoid damage.
  2. Formatting: It is recommended to format the card within the device (camera/camcorder) upon first use. This ensures optimal compatibility and file system structure.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Handling: Avoid touching the gold-plated contacts. Use a soft, dry cloth if cleaning is necessary.

  • Data Management: Regularly back up important data stored on the card to prevent data loss. Use the provided RecoveRx software for data recovery if needed.
  • Removal: Always safely eject the card from your device before physically removing it to prevent data corruption.
