Taiwan, July 31st, 2009 – As solid-state drives are increasingly applied in the industrial field, the Security and protection of information storage have become more important than ever. Apacer Technology, the leading brand of memory, recently released a new industrial ATA CF card for information protection. The card adopts the highly reliable single-level cell (SLC) flash memory and differs from conventional CF cards in the market mostly in that its transmission specification is True IDE mode, which contains multifunction utilities of Secure Protection Zone and Quick Erase. Enterprise customers can not only improve the security, protection, and reliability of information in storage devices, but also effectively prevent confidential information from being maliciously or inadvertently altered, resulting in information leaks.

As the issue of enterprise information security is getting more and more attention around the world, Apacer believes that “Only using control tools effectively and making a thorough information protection plan in advance can improve enterprises’ core ability of information protection.” The biggest advantage of the ATA CF card Apacer recently released is the utility of Secure Protection Zone. Users can divide the block according to their needs. There are three different settings, including 〔Read Only〕, 〔Restricted〕, and 〔Unprotected〕, which improve the security level of information storage and reduce the possibility of accidents.
In addition, the Quick Erase function of ATA CF card can erase the possibly used blocks and spare blocks with just a quick command, which especially meets the military market demand to quickly delete defense-related confidential information.
