Essential Unless You Want to Complete a Game Without Stopping!

Advantages: You can save games, 8mb decent size, easy to use, works well, different colours
Disadvantages: Not the largest size ever and does not work with PS1 games

...The PS2 memory card is practically an essential if you have a Playstation 2 as without one you will not be able to save your games so will have to complete all your games in a single sitting or you will have to restart your game every time you want to stop playing! The memory cards are available in various colours and I have a blue and a black one. They are quite small and fit nicely in the memory card slots in your Playstation 2. The card is quite small and does not take up much room. The card also weighs 12 grams which shows you it weighs very little. With this card you can save up to 8 megabytes of game data which is loads for most of the games on the system but there are a few games which take up loads of room. An example of this is Gran Turismo 4 which takes up I think roughly 3 or 4 megabytes which is half of the memory. To...

Review of Sony flash memory module - 8 MB - Sony PlayStation 2 Memory Card

The vital piece of PS2 equipment!!

Advantages: OK space to save data, it is vital if you plan to play on your PS2!!
Disadvantages: Maybe not much saving room for extreme gamers!

...data 200 times faster than what the original Playstation memory card did. This makes saving, loading and deleting data much faster and easier! This memory card also uses Flash memory, which is the same technology that is used for digital camera cards, and it is also used in MP3 players. This means that a lot more data is able to be stored on the memory cards. Price of the cards I have looked around and found various prices for the Sony 8MB Memory Card. When I first bought mine, they were just new, and were about £25-£30. Now they are much cheaper. I have looked around on the Internet, and the most expensive price I could find for one was between £20-£25 and the cheapest was about £10-£15. Overall The memory card is a vital piece of equipment. Without it, your gaming experience will be very poor. In my opinion, Sony should...

Review of Sony flash memory module - 8 MB - Sony PlayStation 2 Memory Card

Thanks for the memory, but no thanks

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Loss of important game data

...When i first bought my Nintendo Gamecube i picked up two games and the logic 3 123 block (8 meg) memory card at the same time. After just two days of using this memory card i discovered that it had a tendancy to lose my saved games which annoyed me beyond words, so i took it back to my local 'Game' and they offered me an identical replacement without any arguments whatsoever (which surprised me a little but i was happy) Again to my horror after only 2-3 days of use i experienced major problems with this memory card, this time however the replacement memory card would display a 'corrupt data' message telling me that i needed to format the card in order to continue using it, this ofcourse meant that i would lose all my saved games and hi-scores!! You can appreciate my annoyance at this so i again took the memory card back to my...

(Compact) Flash In The Pan

Advantages: Price, Capacity
Disadvantages: Reliability, Speed

...provide faster than basic-rate CF access. Unfortunately it would seem that they haven't so there is likely little point in me buying High-speed cards in the future (other than to save download time back at the PC). After about 15 quick test photos I switched the camera to playback mode and began to look through my handiwork. Read access times seem quicker but this may be deceptive as the camera renders the 2Mb JPEG in playback rather than the 8Mb RAW image. On hitting the 8th image I was dismayed to find an error message pop up on the screen informing me that there had been an error reading my memory card. I turned the camera off and on again only to hit the same problem when I got to the 8th image. 4 formats of the memory card later and losing all of my (thankfully disposable) test pictures and this problem appeared to go away. I put it...

Review of Bytestor HI Speed Compact Flash CF 1GB 1024 MB

Winning the card wars

Advantages: Use 2 types of cards in one camera
Disadvantages: Pricey

...If like me, you've got a variety of cameras, using different memory cards, you sometimes wish there was only one format. Why? Because then you can just buy a load of cards all of the same sort, and they'd work in all the cameras. The Minolta SD-CF1 is an adapter for those with a whole load of SD (Secure Digital) type cards, who also have a CF (Compact Flash) compatible camera too. Why should I need to buy a 512Mb CF for my Minolta, when I have a perfectly good 512Mb SD card for my brand new Megxon? Well with this device, I won't of course. Although it's made by Minolta, and Minolta themselves only advertise it as compatible with certain cameras in their own range, it will in fact work with a variety of other CF cameras, including Canon and Nikon. It's very simple. You take your adapter, slot the SD card into it, then slot the whole...

Action Replay For The Xbox

Advantages: Backup Saves, Down Load Saves, Fast, Easy
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this Action Replay card so that I could download saves from the internet and back up my own saves on my computer and share them online.

Review of Datel Action Replay for Xbox + 8mb Memory Card

Very Compact, Very Flash

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable
Disadvantages: None That I Can Think Of

...Now where to start? I think a quick explanation of what Compact Flash (CF) actually is would be a good start. ----=What is Compact Flash?=---- It?s a type of data storage card, normally used in digital cameras, MP3 players, Mobile phones etc. It measures about 4cm x 4cm with a row of small holes (50 to be precise!) on one side. This is the connector through which the data is passed when the card is in use. Note: Not all cameras, Mp3 players etc use compact flash. there are at least four other types of card (Smartmedia, Secure Data, Sony Memory Stick, Multi-media) just to confuse things further, so please check what type you need before purchasing! ----=How Does It Work?=---- Inside the card is a small memory chip that is solid state, very much like the BIOS chip inside your PC. Because it is solid state, it...

Review of SanDisk Flash memory

Store all your memories in a flash

Advantages: Easy to use, plug and play, great storage
Disadvantages: U3 technology can be a little annoying at first

...* 16GB storage size * U3 software included. (see below for a little information) * Approximate size is 20mm wide, 57mm long and 8mm thickness * Approximate weight is 60 grams * Read speed 25MB?s p/s (approx) * Write speed 15MB?s p/s, (approx) * Plug and play system ** What will 16GB hold ..? This is entirely up to the individual person and what they wish to store, but for arguments sake lets say 16GB will hold around over 4000 average sized songs or way over 16 thousand good quality picture, or even hold maybe fifty good quality movies. But it all depends on the size/quality of images, music, videos and more. As for holding data, again, this is dependant on the size of the data, but 16GB is really a hell of a lot of space just for data, picture and movies. ** IN CONCLUSION? This flash drive is a good size, being about...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 16 GB

A useful little CF card

Advantages: Small, handy size, good for a few photos, or important data
Disadvantages: Low capacity for modern cameras

...CF cards have to be one of the most boring things to write about, and they are all much of a muchness in terms of manufacturing quality and durability, so I'll be brief. Altec have a good reputation, as far as I am aware, for products like these - and of the dozen or so of the memory cards I have, none have had any problems. An 8MB card will hold approx 8 hi-res photos from a decent digital camera. This is obviously not a lot, but if you were doing portraits of people, or a few quick shots of certain places, keeping them on distinct cards could have its advantages. Furthermore, just because you mostly see these being used by cameras, doesn't mean you can't use them for other things. I carry some important data - encryption keys, email address books, and important documents on one. You can use readily available (and cheap...
