Today, no mobile device, be it a phone, laptop or camera, is complete without flash memory. It allows you to significantly expand the amount of recorded information and save it for many years.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a flash card, be sure to consider the type and model of the mobile device for which it will be intended. Usually, the description for the device indicates the type of suitable memory card.
Step 2
The amount of flash memory is also of great importance. But here you should already pay attention to individual needs. If a small amount of information will be stored on the card, for example, pictures or melodies, a small amount will do. Photos from a professional camera or movies will take up much more space. On average, a 256 Mb card will fit about 30 minutes of video or 100 high-quality photos.
Step 3
To avoid problems with the compatibility of flash memory and mobile device, it is better to opt for the more famous and widespread cards. Today there are seven of them: CompactFlash (CF), IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, Multimedia Card (MMC), SecureDigital (SD), MicroSD and MemoryStick. Each of them has its own pros and cons, and their choice depends on personal preferences and needs. But according to analysts, the most common and versatile memory cards of them are CompactFlash and SD / MMC.
Step 4
When choosing flash memory, do not disregard the speed of its reading, writing and the degree of protection of the stored information from accidental damage or erasure. Naturally, the higher these indicators are, the better.
Step 5
Pay attention to such an important selection criterion as the price of the goods. High cost is not always an indicator of better quality. Sometimes it will simply depend on the tiny size of the flash memory. Better still rely on the versatility of the card.
Step 6
If there is such an opportunity, when purchasing a flash card, purchase a special adapter that will allow it to be used in other mobile devices.
