If all the different types of memory were comic book characters, you might consider CompactFlash the superhero. Why? It's fast. It's rugged. It can hold a monstrous amount of information despite its miniature size. And, it works like a champ in a whole bunch of different applications.
Ok, you want a more down-to-earth explanation.
Fast, small, removable storage
CompactFlash memory cards are an increasingly popular way to quickly transfer large amounts of data among different applications.
CompactFlash is what's called "solid state" memory, which means there are no moving parts. It retains information even when the power is turned off. And you can easily slide a CompactFlash card in and out of different devices. In fact, it's more like a floppy disk than RAM. To sum it up, CompactFlash is noiseless, considerably lighter, consumes less battery power, and much more rugged than a rotating disk drive.
Where can I use CompactFlash?
Digital cameras, digital music players, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and handhelds are just some of the devices that use CompactFlash. You can use the cards as "digital film" in your camera, to store information such as phone numbers and addresses, large work files, or to backup data on your PDA. In other words, CompactFlash is extremely versatile.
Keep in mind, not all devices that use flash memory take CompactFlash cards. To use CompactFlash, you must either have a device with a CompactFlash slot or a device with a Type II or Type III PC Card slot and an adapter. You can also use it with card readers that connect to USB ports and serial ports. To see if your device takes CompactFlash cards, look for your manufacturer and model in Crucial Technology's Memory Selector.
