To illustrate, microSD card speed using ‘The Tortoise And The Hare’. A fable most of us know by heart. And if we don’t know the story, then we at least know the lesson. The tortious appeared slow, but he was steady. The hare was fast, but he wasn’t consistent. In the end, the tortoise won the race because he didn’t slack off like the hare. It was a life lesson illustrating the payoff of persistence and consistency versus the consequences of slacking off and underestimating. The market today’s populated with numerous microSD cards, all clocked at various speeds. Most consumers look at these memory cards and feel like they’re reliving The Tortoise And The Hare, but the question is whether or not …

In the recent past, optical media has embraced the use of CD’s and DVD’s as a means of storing data. CD’s or DVD’s are optical media developed to store information for an unspecified period of time but keep data safe so it can be readable in the future. CD and DVD burners have advanced by leaps and bounds from their original classification. There were times not twenty years ago where burning a CD was not possible above 1x speed, requiring about forty-five minutes to be expended to create a single disc. Speed has increased to the point where burners now get up to 52x in speed, allowing a CD or DVD to be burned in mere minutes. The downside of …

In today’s technology-driven world, we heavily rely on compact and portable devices, such as USB flash drives, to store a wide range of data. These devices hold everything from our precious family photos to important business and financial information. Smartphones, tablets, solid state drives (SSD,) cell phones, and computers have become essential devices for storing our important files. These devices serve as repositories for a wide range of data, including documents, photos, videos, and various other digital content. With their increasing storage capacities and advanced capabilities, these devices have become central to our personal and professional lives. Business owners and consumers depend on critical files, images, and other stored media. A sudden crash, or a nonfunctional or damaged device, can …

There are currently three different types of SD cards readily available on the market: SD, SDHC (High Capacity), and SDXC (eXtended Capacity). And when it comes down to it, not all USB 3.0 flash drives are the same; some are MUCH faster than others. With increased speed comes a heftier price tag. Are different types and speeds of SD cards really worth the extra penny? Not All SD Cards Are Created Equal. It’s easy to subscribe to the belief that an SD card is an SD card. They all look relatively the same. They’re all small, compact storage devices that come with different capacities. But SD cards are more than simply bigger or smaller in terms of memories. When buying …

Monolith Storage in USB Flash Drive Production. Monolithic storage is made up of numerous electronic components. Their respective connections are all integrated into a single-layered semiconductor wafer or package. This package splits into 3D integrated circuits. Monolith storage architectures have evolved to become a popular choice for manufacturers. Thus, they’re cheaper to produce compared to standard NAND and Controller based devices. Monolithic storage is a significant breakthrough in memory storage devices. And, the breakthrough is across SD cards, USB flash drives, and microSDs. However, it is viewed as something of a bigger challenge to recover data from a monolithic storage device. Consequently, they often suffer from damage and files become corrupted. Furthermore, when this occurs you’ll need micro SD card …

NAND technology has had a huge impact on many of the gadget-based luxuries we enjoy today. By creating breakthroughs in storage methods, NAND flash has revolutionized our phones and our digital cameras; maximizing the amount of space we have available to store a range of media. There have been various types of NAND technology over the years, allowing us to reach the point we’re at today (and it will only keep improving – just imagine the amount of pictures, videos, and more you’ll be able to store on your phones and tablets five years from now). The first, SLC (Single Level Cell) was designed to store one data bit in each cell; this graduated to MLC (Multi-Level Cell) technology, which …

The production of flash memory technology is increasing. NAND flash memory chips used in memory cards and cameras is fascinating. This technology sector is competitive. With each passing year, the technology gets smaller and smaller. eProvided manages an SSD data recovery service. For this reason, we wanted to discuss those devices which use NAND wafers. Mr. Moore Had It Right. NAND chip production is growing at a quick pace. It’s following the same trend as Moore’s Law. The law predicted back in 1965 suggested that components would continue to double in integrated circuits every year. It doubled after he noticed how the technology had advanced since 1958. His observation is now the model by which long-term development planning is determined …

USB Flash Drive File Loss, It’s No Laughing Matter at All. A damaged or nonfunctional flash storage drive is no picnic. USB flash drive data loss or hard drive damages happen. We use these handy little devices repetitively for transferring files between computers and sharing information with colleagues. Unfortunately, as is the case with any storage device, the device, and media on the drive can become corrupt, damaged or suffer from a broken USB port or PCB. If this happens, you may need the assistance of a trained professional capable of performing USB flash drive data recovery services. Let’s prepare, know what to expect before it happens to you. Do you know how to spot the symptoms of a drive …

In recent years, NAND flash tablets have replaced laptops for many people, in their domestic lives at least. For those who only used their laptops for internet access, watching films and playing games, tablets can now offer all of this without the added weight or bulkiness of a laptop – you can hold a tablet comfortably in one hand, set it on your lap, or prop it against a wall with much greater ease. This convenience is a must for most casual users, and its portability is a key convenience even the smallest laptop can’t offer; for example, many people would be reluctant to use their laptops on a train or bus unless they had enough space (which is not …

External hard drives are fantastic for storing large amounts of data locally, without uploading it to the cloud or overloading your computer’s internal drive. However, as reliable and sturdy as most USB drives & portable hard drives are, mishaps and malfunctions leading to data loss happen. This can be annoying at best, devastating at worst: if you have weeks and weeks’ (or years and years’) worth of data stored in your external hard drive when it fails, then you can feel absolutely destroyed. This can be caused by accidental deletion, infection from viruses, corrupted data, or various other technical and mechanical issues. Can you get data back? Can you recover all those lost files? Possibly – each situation is different. …
