CAG3B
Series
TDK᾿s CAG3B series of High-Reliability CFast™ drives is high-speed
CompactFlash drives supporting serial ATA 3 Gbps. The series features
high-speed data transfer speed of twice that of existing products with the
same size as an IDE CompactFlash card (CF card) by equipped with a
serial ATA (SATA) interface. For example, an embedded CPU board
generally uses a CF card as its boot device, but, recently, SATA I/F instead
of parallel ATA (PATA) I/F has increasingly been adopted in many CPUs
and chipsets, resulting in less opportunities to connect a CF card directly to
a CPU. Even when a CF card is connected to a CPU via a SATA bridge IC,
PATA data transfer speed and bridge IC performance create bottlenecks,
and the advantages of high-speed SATA transfer are lost.
This series has achieved an effective high-speed data transfer of 105
MByte/sec, giving very rapid system booting. It ensures absolute data

reliability and minimizes data error risks with a newly adopted 44bit ECC,
data randomizer function, auto refresh function. Furthermore, TDK Smart
Swap a high-level global static wear leveling algorithm unique developed
by TDK, has achieved the longest CFast™ life in the industry.
Also, CFast™ life monitor software “TDK SMART”, allows the number of
times of programming (erasing) for all memory blocks to be acquired in real
time as SMART information, thus enabling the drive lifespan to be
quantitatively known. The CAG3B series has also adopted AES128bit
encryption function, ATA-standard security function, and TDK᾿s unique
password lock function, it is able to prevent falsification leakage, and
unauthorized copying of private and business information. It also supports
the ATA Trim command allowing complete and easy deletion of all drive
data when the drive is disposed of or replaced.

RS3.
Compatible with Serial ATA Standard Rev. 2.6 (Gen1: 1.5 Gbps, Gen2: 3.0 Gbps).
Realizes high-speed access: 105 MByte/sec read access, 60 MByte/sec write
access. (*1)
Equipped with 15 bits/512 Bytes, 30 bits, 44 bits/1 KByte ECC (Automatically
selected by the flash memory).
Equipped with data randomizer function. Data patterns are automatically
randomized during the write process, to minimize the risk of bit errors due to
writing the same data repeatedly.
Equipped with an auto refresh function. While there is no access by the host,
internal data are automatically refreshed. This function is paused during access,
so there is no delay in response. Also, auto recovery function incorporated.
Equipped with an advanced global static wear leveling function “TDK Smart Swap”
algorithm. This algorithm counts the number of times each memory block is
erased (programmed) and replaces blocks uniformly, which drastically improves
the lifespan of the installed flash memory. (*2)
The 32 GB type for example supports approximately 3.1 billion erase cycles. Even
at a rate of 5 erases per second, this equates to an expected service life of 20
years. (*3)
TDK's proprietary algorithm reduces the risk of collateral data errors such as
corruption of data other than the data being written if power is interrupted when
writing data.
CFast™ life monitor software “TDK SMART” is included. Drive lifespan can be
checked quantitatively in real time, allowing easy maintenance.
Equipped with a function to set the number of total sectors (clipping function).
CHS parameters can also be customized. (*4)
