Usually, when we say IDE, we mean the old IDE PIO mode, which CF does support, but which in practice, nobody uses except while detecting the card. Real-world devices use UDMA modes almost exclusively. And CHS addressing hasn't been used in years, because it can't handle the capacity of modern CF cards (max 128 GB). All modern CF cards support LBA-48 (everything built after about 2010), allowing for card sizes up to 144 petabytes (in base-10 style, 128 in base-2 style). And even ancient CF cards support LBA-28. | |
