Memman - One Stop Shop For Any Kind Of Flash Memory Card
Online, January 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - With every passing day the world is getting more and more digital. Digitalization seems to have pervaded every aspect of our lives and its all pervasiveness can be gauged from the fact that almost everybody is using at least one specific electronic product that uses digital technology. If someone cares to look around, one would always spot someone wired to his laptop, palmtop, and table or animatedly talking away on his Smartphone or playing zealously on a game console.
To ensure that a device keeps running smoothly, one would require some kind of SD (secure digital) card. In fact these SD cards that have evolved as the prevailing flash memory card format are available in an almost endless array of shapes, sizes and capacities (read speed). And unaware of the specifics of the sort of card one would need for Smartphone or digital camera, simply means getting lost in the labyrinthine maze of flash memory cards.
Some small snippets that everybody could do with knowing is that these come in a variety of types that are all miniatures, they have different information storage (read memory) capacity levels, information can be recorded, stored, erased and re-recorded, and power is not required for data retention. Memory Man has almost every sort, kind or type of flash memory card that you might need. Compact Flash, Smart-Media, Secure Digital, XD Picture Card, Adapters, Express Card, Memory Stick, Multimedia Card, PCMCIA ATA, Readers, USB Pen Drive-you name it they have it.
Irrespective of the sort of device being used (laptop, digital camera or pocket camcorder); the choice of an ideal flash memory card will be determined by three factors or variables-speed, capacity and the physical format. Now, all these three determinants have its own set of divisions or classes that'll influence the choice.
So one could need anything from a SanDisk 8GB 50pin Ultra Compact Flash Card to a 512MB Fuji Fine Pix Pro Compact Flash. Or, one could be looking for a 16GB Pentax Digital Camera SDHC (secure digital card high capacity) Class 6 card or a 16GB Transcend Express Card/34 Solid State Disk. Firstly, one has to decide on the type of device a specific memory card will be used for. SD cards come in three formats-Standard, Mini, and Micro. Cameras, Smartphones or camcorders use a range of sizes. Although a Mini or a Micro flash card along with an adaptor can be used, using the size that is specifically suited for particular equipment is recommended.
SD cards come in different capacities and the capacity also settles the card size specification. An advanced Smartphone these days uses a micro SD card that is of the SDHC (see above) classification. The standard size of SD has a max 2GB capacity whereas an SDHC micro card can have capacities of up to 32 GB. The SD/SDHC/SDXC (secure digital extended capacity-cards that the maximum storage space) does not only hold cards but also for the sort of device being used.
Flash memory cards also come in different speeds. A digital SLR camera that can take high resolution (speed) pictures would need a high speed SD card. Correspondingly a portable camcorder could do with a Class 4 or 6 cards. SD Cards come in a range or class of cards (from Class II to Class 10-lowest to highest speeds). And yes, there's the (ultra high speed), but one might not have a need for this type of card.
