So I have a WD SiliconDrive 8gb compact flash card and on the label in says "8GB PATA SSD" the label really throws me off. I googled it and I can't find anything online. If someone knows anything about this please tell me

Why do you think this card is weird?

 

WD SiliconDrive® CF WD SiliconDrive® II CF Advanced Solid State Storage. So why can't you find data? You may want to start with Western Digital since they made it. It's a PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) solid state storage device. Nothing really weird about that.

In your opinion, what is the difference between an SSD (Solid State Drive) and an SD memory card?
