Choosing Your USB Memory Stick Supplier

Choosing Your USB Memory Stick Supplier
by Chris Proth

There are currently many suppliers of Branded and Promotional USB Memory Sticks. This makes it a fiercely competitive market, which bodes well for the consumer as this naturally leads to lower prices. However, this also puts a lot of pressure on suppliers to reduce their costs. Some suppliers take this too far so it is important to consider factors other than price when choosing your USB Memory Stick supplier, four important considerations to take into account are:

1. Speed of Service 2. Quality of USB Memory Sticks 3. Financial Stability of Company Supplying Flash Drives 4. Reputation.

Speed of service will largely depend on the company's business model. Many companies claim to have fast turnaround times, but when asked to supply large amounts of branded USB Memory Sticks they fall short on initial promises and the turnaround times go up 2 or 3 times. Other companies who have more control over their supply chain will live up to their promises and these are naturally the companies you'll want to choose.

Quality control is crucial for products that will end up representing your company. It is important to find a supplier that understands this and won't cut corners or send you defunct goods. For instance, some USB Flash Drive suppliers cut costs by using refurbished NAND flash memory. This is generally less reliable than brand new NAND Flash. It may save you money, but do you want the product you've given to a client failing? This is not going leave your company in a good light, and once they've thrown the USB Stick away they're no longer carrying your companies name around with them.

As with any company you're going to enter into a financial relationship with it's always prudent to run a credit check to make sure it's not going to go under in the next month or so, if it does you're unlikely to get your money back. As mentioned earlier, this is a very competitive industry and insolvency is not that uncommon, if your supplier goes bankrupt you wont only lose the money you paid them you'll also miss your deadline.Reputation speaks volumes, if a company has delivered similar sized orders of USB Memory Sticks in the time frame you want many times before, they can probably do it again.

microSD card also known as Transflash

microSD card also known as Transflash
by Shawn paul

Micro-SD card is also written as SD. TranshFlash was formerly known as T-Flash. The micro SD memory card was introduced by SanDisk Corporation in 2004. This was known as the world's smallest memory card. Its size is 15mm × 11mm × 0.7mm which is approximately that of a fingernail. The transflash was specifically designed for being used in mobile phones. Motorola was the first mobile phone manufacturer to adapt the TransFlash memory card standard. It is about a quarter the size of an SD card. There are adapters which allow a microSD card to be used in devices intended for SD, miniSD, or MemoryStick Duo cards, however they are not universally compatible.

In the mid of 2005, transflash was adapted by the SD Card Association as the third form factor memory card in the Secure Digital family, after SD Memory Card and mini-SD. TransFlash name was changed to microSD, after its adoption by SD Card Association. TransFlash and micro-SD, both memory cards are completely compatible to each other, because they have exactly the same dimensions and specifications. Nowadays, microSD is the most common used memory card in mobile phones. It is the objective of SD Card Association to make microSD a de facto memory card standard for all mobile phones. All the microSD cards and TransFlash come with a SD Memory Card adaptor, which makes them compatible to all SD Memory Card slots. The microSD is about 10% in size compared to SD memory card and about 30% compared to miniSD. Following are given the technical details of the µSD cards. Micro SD-card Card volume 165 mm3 Weight Approx. 0.5 g Operating Voltage 2.7 - 3.6 V Number of Pins 8 Write-protect Switch No Terminal Guards No Width X length X thickness 11mm X 15mm X 1mm

ScanDisk-An Overall Look

ScanDisk-An Overall Look
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mike_Singh]Mike Singh

The leader in flash memory, ScanDisk delivers more flash memory products than anyone else in more form factors. They carry 315 issued U.S. patents along with 160 foreign patents, so it is very clear to see that ScanDisk is THE inventor of flash data storage. ScanDisk was founded in 1988 by Dr. Eli Harari, who was an internationally recognized authority on non-volatile memory technology. They serve both consumers and original equipment manufacturer, while licensing its technology to a number of other industry-leading companies.

Flash memory is a rapidly growing field, due to the direct result of "consumer demand" for always something smaller, more feature packed, more portable, and always wanting a digital device. Because of this reputation, available is a great, diverse line of MP3 players to suit every consumer with MP3 desires. SanDisk is a name to consider when shopping for your digital audio player as it provides a line of digital audio players with video capabilities, FM tuners, expandable memory, and voice recording. With five different lines of digital audio players to choose from it is probable to find something that fits a specific taste.

The SanDisk "SansaTM" e200 series of MP3 players give the consumer the capability of music, photo, and video clip playback - all in one device. With a 1.8" TFT color screen and advanced navigation, along with a very easy to use interface, this line comes with three choices of disk space - 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, and 8GB, with a strong battery life at about 20 hours when fully charged. It has a durable metal backing to avoid excessive scratching, which is an advantage over others. Supporting the Microsoft PlaysForSure subscription music, a media converter can be purchased to support most image formats for photos and small personal videos.

SanDisk's SansaTM m200 series provides high-quality digital music playback as a replacement to the original Digital Audio Player line, as SanDisk is one of the leaders in the flash drive arena. This series doesn't offer anything flashy (no photo or video), but does everything you need if you are looking for pure digital audio. The series comes in the 512MB (blue), 1GB (silver), or 2GB (black) sizes with optional data storage capabilities. It also can be used as an external storage device for data and a PC transfer case.

The SanDisk SansaTM c100 series is made for the active type, by providing flash memory of 1 or 2GB in a lightweight and durable device that is available in brilliant color. You can listen to music downloaded from the PC, listen to FM radio, record FM radio, or make voice recordings while jogging or studying. The SanDisk Sansa c100 series can also display photo thumbnails, but has no video playback capability. If a person is new to the digital audio game, not quite knowing how much space they need, the SanDisk SansaTM e100 series of expandable memory MP3 players is a great option. Coming with a built-in 512MB or 1GB of memory, a person can expand the space by up to 2GB with a SD slot memory card. This player also comes with a built-in FM tuner.

Mini SD-cards

Mini SD-cards
by Shawn paul

The multi-media-card (MMC) was developed by Siemens AG and Sandisk in 1997, which was the smallest memory card. The MMC had size of 32 × 24 × 1.5 mm. Its size was about that of a postage stamp. The MMC-card and SD card (Secure Digital Memory Card) are very much similar. The Secure Digital Memory Card is based on the MMC-card. Both of them have almost the same form factor, but the SD cards are slightly thicker and they have a write protection switch. The SD (Secure Digital) is a non-volatile, flash memory card format. SD-card was developed by SanDisk, Toshiba and Matsushita. SD cards are mostly used in handheld computers, digital cameras, GPS receivers, PDAs, video game consoles and mobile phones. There was need to develop a memory card that was small enough to meet the requirements of compact mobile phones. Therefore, the miniSD card was introduced by SanDisk Corporation in 2003. The mini SD-card also includes copyright protection. In order to make the mini-SD card compatible with standard SD-enabled products, the mini SDcard comes with an adapter. These memory cards are slim and compact. They are ideal for MPEG2 Video Recording. Mini SD cards have large capacity and fast access. The copyright protection technology used is the key for enabling a new distribution system for music and other commercial media.

The miniSD Card is a small form factor removable and portable memory device. It is used in digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones / cell phones, and many other gadgets. The SD Association in 2003, adopted mini-SD as an ultra small form extension to the SD card standard. The memory cards usually have miniSD adapter for the use in mobile phones. This adapter enables compatibility with all devices equipped with a standard SD Memory Card slot. The compatibility of the miniSD cards is universal regardless of its manufacturer. There is another form of SD-card which is called as microSD. The microSD card may be used in miniSD devices by using an adapter. On the other hand, miniSD cards can not be used in microSD devices.

Following are given the technical details of the SD card, mini SD-card and microSD cards. SD Memory Card Card volume 1,596 mm3 Weight Approx. 2 g Operating Voltage 2.7 - 3.6 V Number of Pins 9 Write-protect Switch Yes Terminal Guards Yes Width X length X thickness 24mm X 32mm X 2.1mm miniSD card Card volume 589 mm3 Weight Approx. 1 g Operating Voltage 2.7 - 3.6 V Number of Pins 11 Write-protect Switch No Terminal Guards No Width X length X thickness 20mm X 21.5mm X 1.4mm Micro SD-card Card volume 165 mm3 Weight Approx. 0.5 g Operating Voltage 2.7 - 3.6 V Number of Pins 8 Write-protect Switch No Terminal Guards No Width X length X thickness 11mm X 15mm X 1mm

Cheap SD Memory Cards - The Basics

Cheap SD Memory Cards - The Basics
by Helen Charleston

In 1999, Mitsubishi and Toshiba put forth a collaborative attempt to create a convenient means to store computer files for camcorders and computers. The result was the inexpensive SD Memory Card.

These SD (Secure Digital) cards all but replaced the Multimedia Card (MMC), having typically and noticeably faster transfer rates as well as a high-density storage capacity. The standard transfer rate for the cheap SD memory card is six times faster than the typical CD-ROM, with a speed expending at 66x (1.01 specification).

The higher speed SD memory card, though, possesses a 133x speed (1.1 specification), enabling data transfer of complex audio/visual files to proceed and save in mere microseconds. The average data transfer rate provides the capability for these files to record everything at the same time and immediately.

The function that really makes these cheap SD memory cards so much better than the old MultiMedia Cards is the storage space. Not only is storage vaster, but the SD memory cards are available in a multitude of different capacities: 900kB/s ands 10 MB/s,16 MB/s, 32 MB/s, 64 MB/s, 128 MB/s, 256 MB/s, 512 MB/s, 1 GB, 2 GB/s, 4 GB/s, 6 GB/s, and even 8 GB/s, which is so huge that it can hold a library of movies and considerably more!

The cheap SD memory cards usually require a card reader or adapter to act as a connecter to a central processor of some sort (computer, camcorder, etc.), but are even designed to utilize USB ports. Many modern electronic devices are created with a SD memory function or a port especially made for the SD memory card.

That such a gadget is (relatively) inexpensive is yet another advantage of the SD memory card. The prices are as varied as the storage capacity, but lower costs provide an incentive for those who are looking for a sophisticated, high calibre product.

Prices range anywhere from $10.95 for the 128 MB/s to $12-$15.00 for the 256 MB/s and under $20 for the 512 MB/s. The prices for the 1 GBs differ, but they typically fall under $60. The more inexpensive brands, such as Corsair and Kingston, average between $35 and $45, whereas the more well-known brands (SunDisk and Lexar) range from $50 to $60. The 2 GB SD memory cards are around $100 or slightly more.

For those gung ho audio/visual enthusiasts who want to build extensive archives of files, or for those who have many small simple Word doc files, the cheap SD memory card is the best device to use.

Get your cheap sd memory cards here as well as your other compact flash memory specifications.

How To Use A USB Flash Drive

How To Use A USB Flash Drive
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Damian_Sofsian]Damian Sofsian

The popularity of USB flash drives does not solely come from its convenient size and the amount of data it can store but also in its easy use. It is very simple to operate and use a USB flash drive provided that the computer you connect it to has all the installed drivers that support the device. However, if the computer does not have an existing driver, USB flash drive installer software is also very easy to install and operate.

The protruded "connector" of the USB flash drives is simply plug directly into the computer or to a plug which is directed to the USB port. The computer then detects the device and upon detection, a folder containing all the files in your USB flash drive would appear on the computer screen. Files can then be easily accessed and transferred to the USB flash drive simply by dragging these files or by copying them into the USB flash drive folder. After using the device, the user can simply detach the flash drive from the port and use it again similarly with other computers.

USB flash drives can be used with most computers as long as they have a USB port and the software compatible with the drive to make it run. A lot of the newer operating systems have pre-installed USB drive drivers, but for those with operating systems that are quite dated, USB flash drive makers also offer drivers which may be used with these systems. These are easy to install and to use, as well. The compatibility of the USB flash drives and the availability of drivers in order for it to run must be checked with the manufacturer before even purchasing your flash drive. However, almost all USB flash drives work well with most computers.

Using USB flash drives are even simpler and more accessible than CD-R or DVD-R, besides USB ports are more common than CD or DVD equipped computers. Also, files stored in the USB flash drives may be erased as often as the user wants it to and may be changed as well.

The novelty of USB flash drives have long gone, yet despite this, users still enjoy its power and portability.

The compatibility of SD Memory Card with digital equipments

The compatibility of SD Memory Card with digital equipments
by Shawn Paul

The SD memory cards known as the "Secure Digital" first began as miniature cards. Afterwards the new and advanced form of the SD memory card SDIO "Secure Digital Input/output" was introduced into the market. The SDA "Secure Digital Association" included new features and technology to the SD memory cards. The SDA included new varieties of card functions. These new card functions included wireless "Local Area Network LAN" devices, cell phones, GPS receiver, digital video camera etc. The memory card readers that were used in the Secure Digital devices connected to the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The Windows Operating System detects and manages the SD (Secure Digital) memory cards through the driver called the (USB) Universal Serial Bus mass storage. The (SD) Secure Digital host controllers are supported by the Operating System. The Operating System connects the host controller SD to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. When the SD-host controller is detected by the operating system, the "SD Secure Digital bus driver" is loaded by the operating system OS. When the SD card is inserted by the user, the windows Operating system loads two drivers the "Storage mini-port" and the "SD Secure Digital Storage Class". These two drivers are loaded on top of "Bus driver" by the Windows Operating System. On the other hand if the SD memory card of a different function like the wireless Local Area Network (LAN) or the Global Positioning System is inserted by the user, then the Windows Operating System loads the driver that is supplied by the vendor. It is necessary that both the vendor supplied and the native drivers in the (SD) Secure Digital stack communicate with "Secure Digital Bus". The device drivers call the routines to communication with the "Secure Digital Bus". These routines are called in the static "Secure Digital Bus library". When the SD Secure Digital drivers compile, it is necessary that they link to the "Secure Digital SD Bus library". There are some limitations for the SD device drivers. The "Host Controller Register" is not directly accessible by the Secure Digital device drivers. The SD device drivers call the routines of "Secure Digital Library". Then the Secure Digital Library forwards the Secure Digital commands to "Host Controller". Music can be stored in the Flash Memory card and it is most advantageous than storing it in the Hard drives. The SD flash memory cards consume less power and are more portable. The SD flash cards also have resistance to shocks. The SD card facilities its users and they can easily record the data to their personal liking like music, pictures. The users can easily carry and move the data with ease and comfort. The SD memory card has the technology to fulfill the requirements of the future networked society. The tiny SD memory card provides many advantages to their users. These memory cards are highly compatible and they can link to different digital equipments. Because of the compatibility of the SD memory cards, their usage is more likely to expand even more in the future. The SD card has now become a standard of memory cards that are used for digital connectivity. In the near by future, the SD cards will be universally accessible to more wide array of Multimedia data. The size of the SD memory card is approximately 24mm x 32mm x 2.1mm. The design of the SD card is very compact and slim. Therefore, they are easy to handle and the user can easily transfer the data. The devices that are compatible with SD card can play video clips & music with the help of "decoder software". The DVD & CD players use "drive mechanism" while the SD memory cards do not require "drive mechanism" to play the video clips. So, this gives the product designers more freedom and they can be more creative and innovative. The other popular form of the SD memory card is the miniSD memory card. The size of the mini-SD card is approximately 20mm x 21.5mm x 1.4mm. The miniSD card is smaller in size than the SD card. The SD memory cards have different recording capacitates, their capacity reaches up to 8GB. The large capacity helps to store the High quality videos.

No longer are they only a mobile telephone, but a internet surfing device, a digital camera, a media player and a strong office tool.

As the number of functions increased, so did the need for space to fit in more and more programs and files. Initially, a couple of Mb as internal memory would have been sufficient for any mobile user because of the absence of many functions like video player or any high end functions. Later, especially during the music mobile revolution, need for additional memory packets to store data and files was felt. Memory cards started to become increasingly popular among mid and high end mobile users across the demography. Among all memory cards available today, flash memory cards from SanDisk is probably the most popular brand all over the world.
