The CompactFlash Association announced CFexpress 2.0 specification with up to 4000MB/s maximum theoretical performance: The CompactFlash Association Announces CFexpress 2.0 Specification CFexpress 2.0 introduces two next-generation form factors adhering better thermal efficiency, optimized power and performance for targeted applications February 27, 2019 04:00 PM Eastern Standard Time CUPERTINO, Calif. - The CompactFlash Association (CFA), the organization responsible for professional removable media specifications such as CompactFlash®, CFast® and XQD®, and the CFexpress® 1.0 specification, now announces the CFexpress® 2.0 specification which expands the spec to include two additional form factors for professional imaging and industrial markets that require performance and quality recording media for high-speed capture and transfer. CFexpress was created to become a standard that can span many market segments and provide a stable and consistent format to fully leverage the industry’s R&D investments in technology and help reduce churn in the market surrounding standardized and proprietary recording media formats. CFexpress 2.0 increases the portfolio of PCIe based removable Flash memory cards. The demand for sustained high performance with balanced power and optimized thermal dissipation shall be met with the new next-generation plug and play capability form factors. With now three form factors, CFexpress® 2.0 supports performance levels to match various market requirements, while maintaining the same electrical/physical interface and memory/storage protocol. All form factors leverage the PCIe® Gen 3 interface for higher performance based on a computing industry storage interface and utilize NVM Express 1.3 protocols for fixed length commands, an efficient queuing model, and very low non-cacheable...
