Different types of Memory Cards
Memory cards are a popular storage medium for many of today's consumer electronic devices, including digital cameras, cell phones, handheld devices and other small electronic devices. Flash memory is nonvolatile, which is the memory card will not lose its data when removed from the device, and the cards can also be erased or reformatted and reused. This way the transfer of data is become very easy at very low cost. Instead of using CD/DVD’s like in older days memory cards play an important role in data transfer such as Image files, text files etc.
For most consumers, when buying a memory card you have to consider price, capacity and compatibility. Some devices will support up to a specific size of memory card, and a specific type of memory card as well. It’s important to read the information that came with your device to ensure you purchase a memory card that will work in your device.
