Media considerations

The capacities and performance of your SS-CDR1 will
vary based on the speed and abilities of the Compact
Flash (CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact
Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and
little internal buffering which results in poor recording
performance. Newer CF cards, not only perform reading
and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.
NOTE
A card more than 512 MB should be used on the
SS-CDR1.
The SS-CDR1 supports only Type I Compact Flash media.
Type I cards are typically FLASH-ROM based and provide
higher performance and durability than hard disk cards.
