CFast 2.0 is made by Compact Flash, got twisted up a bit :)
Yes, it's a second generation of CompactFlash. Developed by the same company.

Where have you found info that CFast was developed by the same company ? Compact Flash was designed by SanDisk but later, all specifications of new cards were published/announced by Compact Flash Association which is something like JEDEC for RAM. I just can't find any info about single company which designed CFast or some other standards since couple of well known manufacturers joined CFA ( in 1995 ).


Edit:
A bit closer to the topic. Here is fresh review of SanDisk USB 3.1 SSD ( in RAID0 ) with results on USB 3.1 controller - ASMedia / ASUS Z97 mobo.

From this article: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/19/compactflash-association-announces-600mb-sec-cfast2-0-spec-sand/
SD cards and their many variants may be the memory card format of choice in most cameras these days, but there's still plenty of instances where nothing but a larger CompactFlash card will suffice. Now the organization behind the format has announced its latest revision, the CFast2.0 specification, which it hopes will find its way into future digital cameras and other professional video devices.

Also here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompactFlash#CFast
A variant of CompactFlash known as CFast is based on the Serial ATA bus, rather than the Parallel ATA/IDE bus for which all previous versions of CompactFlash are designed. CFast is also known as CompactFast.

Awesome performance from the review you linked!
