Industrial Solid-State PCMCIA ATA Flash Cards for Mission-Critical Applications

Why do you need industrial-grade memory cards instead of their cheaper consumer-grade counterparts?

Industrial-grade cards are made to endure severe operating conditions such as high impact, continuous vibration, low  and/or high operating temperature. These cards are durable and can last intensive reads/writes. Certain cards are even made to be moisture-resistant. Consumer-grade memory cards are not as durable. For most of the industrial applications which normally require intensive I/O cycles, the consumer-grade cards tend to fail prematurely.

PSI supplies industrial PCMCIA ATA flash cards from the following vendors/manufacturers.
