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

...As anyone who has ever browsed through any of my previous review will know that I tend to like using flash drives, aka pen drives, as I find them a lot quicker to transfer data from PC to PC, as long as you do the usual virus check before hand. Anyway, I am the proud owner of several of these little technical miracles from many different manufacturers, such as Kingston, Bytestor and Integral. But I have to admit that one of my most favourite Flash drives has to be from the boffins who work for SanDisk, as I have many of these branded products with various memory storage sizes, from a mere 1GB to a rather eye watering 32GB? and it is the SanDisk Cruzer micro 16GB which I am talking about today ** First the technical bits? * Operating system required? Microsoft Windows XP/2000 (SP4), Vista and Mac X10.1.2 or later. * Windows ready...

ELC Flash cards, simple but effective.

Advantages: Cheap, simple and effective
Disadvantages: Can get a bit bent after a lot of use.

...When my son was due to start school last year he had no interest at all in learning to read so we tried to look at alternatives to make reading fun. My friend had given us some of the phonic books from the ELC and some of them interested him. He didnt want to read them but was looking at the pictures. I began to wonder if the pictures we actually distracting him and making him think that he didnt need to read. So on a trip into town I popped into the ELC and could not believe the range of reading materials that they stock. I found this set of flash cards and thought for £3.50 it would be worth a shot. Well I have to say they have been an absolute hit, not only with my 5 year old but with my 4 year old to. There are 70 cards in total and they have a very good range of starter words and there are also some blank cards. We...

A good choice of memory card

Advantages: Easy to use and stores lots of photos
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if you don'tshop around

...As many of you probably know I suddenly had to buy a couple of USB flash drives to save my pictures on due to my laptop 'playing up'. Not only that, there was also another reason why it was important for me to get this extra storage space so soon especially after my friend telling me how important it was to have them stored somewhere other than just my laptop This is because I have recently bought a new camera for our forthcoming trip to Florida early next year which I wanted to have a little early so that I could also take it on my upcoming work trip to Paris. With the new camera I needed to purchase a few bits to go with it including a gorgeous pink case and more importantly a new memory card and card reader. After researching which memory card would be suitable to match my camera I decided on this one - the Fuji 2GB XD TYPE M. What...

Credit card-sized storage for memory and sim cards

Advantages: Lightweight, slim, beautiful design, great value for money
Disadvantages: possibly bend cards if stored for long periods of time (untested)

...I previously carried a small USB key on my keyring as my portable memory solution. But I found that more and more, I was having to transfer information from either a PDA or digital camera, and a USB key just didn't work for this. So I found the solution in the SanDisk SD Plus memory card - it is the size of a normal SD memory card, but also folds in half to reveal a USB adapter which can be plugged into any USB port. Brilliant solution, except that they aren't very sturdy. I was worried about the card breaking in my wallet, so I needed something to protect it. This is where the Aluminium Memory Card Holder from Proporta comes in. It is the same length and width as a standard credit card (85mm x 54mm), and is only 4mm thick (about as thick as 3 credit cards sitting on top of each other). It is very light as well, weighing in...

Super cheap high memory flash memory stick

Advantages: Cheap!! High memory
Disadvantages: None, Nothing wrong with it!

...As with many people out there, the USB flash drive device is a very important part of my life. Any documents that i produce on the PC are always backed up on the memory stick just in case the PC crashes and everything is lost. Not only would this take a lot of time to sort out, but for many peopleit would also cost them money. Before going out and buying this, I had one of the small sony flash drives, that i have already given a review of. When i unfortunately lost that one i had to go and buy another, i needed one that had a large memory capacity, and one that wasnt going to cost me and arm and a leg. The first port of call for me is alwayd amazon, where i stumbled across this, the Kingston Data Traveller, 8GB memory stick. Not only was it big enough for what i needed, it was also a steal at £16. My device is black in colour...

Thumbs up for the Sony M2 memory card

Advantages: Good value for money (cheaper than most 2GB USB flash drives), and highly compact and portable
Disadvantages: Very small you so have to handle it really carefully

...I bought this memory stick for my Sony Ericsson Mobile phone back in December and it's still serving me well 6 months on, at the time I am writing this review. One of the desirable features of this product is its size. It's small compact nature means it can be easily popped in and out of your Sony Ericsson mobile phone at any time. At 2GB it can store about 500 MP3 files and about the same number of photos. It's also useful for storing PDF and word files if ever you don't a have a flash drive to hand You can also buy this memory card along with a USB card reader, which you just pop into your computer's USB port, and you're set to go. However, the fact that it's so small means you have to be really careful when handling it, becuse if you drop it, it can be realy hard to find again.This is the only reason why I didn't give this product...

ps2 memory cards

Advantages: store game data fast to memory cards, small and slim design
Disadvantages: can't save game data to any other format

...The playstation 2 console and also the playstation 1 console accept small devices that store data called Memory Cards. For the Playstation 2 console the memory card is a small rectangle plastic card that can hold up to 8MB of game data. The data is usually saved game files. Information that is stored in the game files is information such as position in game, completion percentage and things like that. A memory card is a crucial device for the playstation 2, because without it you could not keep any records of where you are up to in the game. This is because the Playstation 2 console uses CDs (Compact Discs) and DVD (Digital Versatile Discs) to store games on; CDs and DVD have no means of changing data on them, they only permit read only access. The good thing about the PS2 memory cards is that they are small and compact...

Trust SanDisk with your memories

Advantages: Reliable,widely compatible,widely available
Disadvantages: None

...According to Sandisk themselves, more people use their flash memory cards than any other brand. One would think this means that they reliable, good quality, perform well and are also competively priced. The company produce all manner of memory cards, for all types of products, and the one I am using currently is a 256Mb CompactFlash Type I. Other sizes of this product are available ranging from 8Mb to a staggering 4Gb. As products become more data hungry, capacities will increase. The latest standard of Compact Flash supports capacities up to 137Gb. Sandisk are actually the inventors of the CompactFlash card, it's been around since 1994. The CompactFlash technology provides a medium for storing large amounts of data, which can be written to and read from quickly. It is a medium which has no moving parts, so consumes very little...

Guide to Digital Camera Storage Cards

Advantages: cheapest memory solution, compatible with MicroDrive, non-proprietary (unlike MemoryStick)
Disadvantages: usually supplied compact flash cards are never big enough...

...This op might seem slightly off topic, as I intend to compare all the various formats of storage media on the market, rather than purely concentrating on compactflash cards (and not just Memorex ones either). Along with the number of megapixels your digital camera has, the single most important factor in deciding which camera to buy has to be storage media for the camera. Now admittedly the manufacturers always give you a very stingy storage card, in my card a 3.3 MegaPixel Minolta Dimage 5 was delivered with only a 16 Mb Sandisk CompactFlash card, which is not even bigger enough to house a maximum resolution RAW image file (ca. 18Mb). I had also hoped to include a definitive list of which manufacturer uses what, but that is not such as an easy task, as with the exception of Sony, using their proprietary Memory Stick memory, most...
