A Closer Look

The card has been placed in a semi-transparent plastic case. While this should be considered a standard accessory with any CF card, some manufacturers of low-end media have omitted this little extra.


The new current Compact Flash cards from A-DATA have a blue sticker on them - no matter the speed, which is a definitive change from the more colorful segregation of each performance segment before. The new logo, along with the actual size and speed are clearly printed on the front, while the rear acts as a label to write down what you have stored on the card or what it is intended for.


The CF connector is nothing out of the ordinary, as it is completely standardized and we just show it for a complete look at the card. A-DATA continues to laser edge the serial number unto the rear edge of the card. I have overexposed the image so that the number becomes clearly visible. You will have a hard time deciphering it under normal lighting conditions.
