Compact Flash
Compact Flash (CF), same as CompactFlash, is a data storage interface, based on flash memory. It is mostly used in portable electronic devices (cameras, audio players and recorders), though nowadays, laptop and handheld computers support it too.
A Compact Flash card is solid-state, meaning it does not have any moving parts inside, which makes this flash memory device last longer than hard drives. Also, it uses less power than hard disks, and can be hot-swapped easily (provided the data is not being written to it at the moment).
Compact Flash card backup is a good way of storing data, saved using any digital devices to a laptop or handheld computer for storage, convenience and security.
