Flash Card Memory
A memory
card--sometimes called a flash memory card-- is a small
storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures,
audio, and video. It is commonly used on small, portable or
remote computing devices. Most of the current products use
flash memory, although other technologies are being
developed. There are a number of memory cards on the market,
including the SD card (secure digital card), the CF card (CompactFlash
card), the SmartMedia card, the Memory Stick, and the
MultiMediaCard (MMC).

These cards
are of varying sizes. Each card is available in a range of
storage capacities that typically corresponds directly to
the price. The CompactFlash card is about the size of a
matchbook, while the MultiMediaCard and Secure Digital card
are each about the size of a postage stamp. Some memory
cards are over 2gig.

Most cards available have constantly powered non-volatile memory.
This means that data is stable on the card and is not
threatened by a loss of power source. It does not need to be
periodically refreshed. Because memory cards are solid state
media and are very unlikely to suffer mechanical
difficulties. Earlier removable storage media, such as the
PC Card, the smart card, and similar cards used for game
systems, can also be considered to be memory cards. However,
the newer cards are smaller, require less power, have higher
storage capacity, and are portable among a greater number of
devices. Because of these features, memory cards are
influencing the production of an increasing number of small,
lightweight and low-power devices.
Memory cards offer a number of advantages over the hard disk drive. They
are much smaller and lighter, extremely portable, completely
silent, allow more immediate access, and are less prone to
mechanical damage.
Flash Memory Camcorder
Hard drive and flash memory
camcorders store video files to a small built-in hard drive
or microchip, similar to the way we store files in our
computers or in some MP3 players. When it comes to video
quality, they tend to perform on par with today's DVD
camcorders, although some high-definition models are ranked
even higher.
