Explanation

CompactFlash (CF) memory cards are available in two physical form factors: Type I (3.3mm thick) and Type II (5mm thick). CF cards were designed for low power consumption, drawing approximately 5% of the power that a comparable small hard drive would require. This made them ideal for digital cameras and portable devices. SD, MMC, and SmartMedia cards do not share the Type I/Type II classification system that is specific to the CF standard.
