SD Transflash Adapter/Memory Card

Advantages: Can be used in most electronic equipment
Disadvantages: Very small so can be lost easily

... Overview I first bought this SD card for storage on my mobile phone. I hadn't ever used a transflash adapter before and I did have to do a bit of research to find out what the two parts were for. Basically, the smaller part (see picture) can be put into phones and other small electrical products and can store up to 128MB worth of data (or more if you buy a card with a greater capacity). The beauty of the transflash adapter however, is the fact that the little memory card can be put into the larger adapter and then used on larger electrical equipment such as a computer or a PS3. Advantages This gives many advantages. The small memory card can be permanently placed inside the adapter and used for storage as you would with a USB memory stick. You could also transfer photos/music/videos from your computer/PS3 to...

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...

Review of Minolta SD-CF1 CompactFlash Card Adapter

For families and all ages (now can read > 2GB SD cards!!!)

Advantages: easy game play, lots of onine games to download, wireless internet conectivity, now read >2GB card
Disadvantages: not enough storage space (need a lot of 2GB SD cards to store the downloaded games).

...Latest update (13 th Dec 2009): The latest Wii firmware version 4.2 offers the ability of the console to read SD card that is > 2GB. I put a 4GB SD card in and it does read it and I can see more 'block's available for my card (2GB card ~ 14000 blocks; 4GB card ~ 27000 blocks). Since it can read the new SDHC format card, the storage in a single card can now extend to 16GB or beyond. I can a couple of the Wii ware games stored in the card too, without the need to transfer them to the console memory and so forth. Good move Nintendo! Price: The price has dropped significantly. In fact there was a brief period that Sainsbury supermarket offers a 20% off their Wii console (starter) bundle i.e. Wii console + Wii Sport + Wii Sport Resort for £135.99. When I heard about it, it was 3 days before the deals ended. Obviously there...

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...

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...

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...

Review of SanDisk V-Mate Video Memory Card Recorder - Digital AV recorder

Not really exciting, but a brilliant memory card

Advantages: Lots of storage space, completely reliable, great connectivity, dirt cheap
Disadvantages: None

...Of all the products you can buy over the internet, memory cards are about the dullest you can find. There really isn't a whole lot to get excited about. In fact, the ideal memory card would be one you could just slot into the camera and forget about. And this one does that perfectly. Sandisk are widely recognised as the leading manufacturer with regards to memory cards, and their SD cards are particuarly good. This is one of, if not the, largest Secure Digital card Sandisk sell, and it works perfectly. The card is as reliable as a wood burning stone - it never fails, just keeps ticking away in the background, doing it's job. In fact, you hardly ever need to pay it any attention. It doesn't encounter difficulties with anything, be it technical faults or connectivity, taking it all in it's stride, and with so much memory, you can snap...
