Chapter 1      CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, and Flash Memory Card Information
  Product Description
Flash Disks, also known as Flash Memory Disks. Flash Disks are Flash memory-based devices that 
conform to the PC card standard (formerly called Personal Computer Memory Card International 
Association or PCMCIA) and present an ATA (AT Attachment) interface to the system. This 
interface complies with the ANSI ATA Interface Document X3T13.1153 D Rev. 9 specification. 
These cards provide from 48 MB to 256 MB of storage space. 
The Flash Disk is more flexible than linear Flash memory because the Flash Disk has controller 
circuitry that allows it to emulate a hard disk and automatically maps out bad blocks and performs 
automatic block erasure. The Flash Disk also provides the capability to allocate noncontiguous 
sectors, which eliminates the need for the squeeze command (which is required with linear Flash 
memory cards to recover the space used by deleted files).
The Flash Disk also supports the Cisco IOS File System feature, which provides a single interface 
to all of the router’s file systems, including the Flash Disks and onboard Flash memory, as well as 
network file systems such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Trivial FTP (TFTP) servers. 
Note
The Flash Disk is only supported on systems with the Cisco IOS File System feature, and 
the Cisco IOS File System feature is supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1) or later releases 
of 12.0. In general, Flash Disk functionality requires Cisco IOS Release 12.0(2) or a later 
release of 12.0. 
Linear Flash Disks, also known as PC cards, were the initial PC card used for the routers and are 
available in 16 MB and 20 MB sizes.
