| Issue | Detail | |-------|--------| | | CF cards have no garbage collection. Performance degrades over time. Use industrial CF cards (e.g., Transcend, Swissbit) with built-in wear leveling. | | No Driver Signing (x64) | For Win 8/10/11 64-bit, you must permanently enable Test Mode ( bcdedit /set testsigning on ) or use an older, self-signed version. | | Windows 10/11 Updates | Major updates (e.g., 22H2) may overwrite the driver. You must reapply it. | | Not for SD cards | This driver is specifically for CF (CompactFlash) .
