MEMBER BENEFITS
As a CFA member, you will benefit from participation in the development of open standards within the CompactFlash Association. Active participation saves member companies money and time, providing close insight into the industry’s roadmap and helping them avoid investing in the wrong direction.
Membership also provides access and insight into associated standards directions including Parallel ATA (PATA), Serial ATA (SATA), and PCIe. Membership allows your company to influence current and future standards development, and gain a competitive advantage over companies that don’t participate. Valuable business relationships with customers and competitors are another benefit to membership.
Any company that is or plans to manufacture, implement, or use CFA products should consider membership in the CompactFlash Association.
