SmartMedia is a kind of flash memory. It is very small (37mmx45mmx0.76mm ) and lightweight (2g). Because of its simple structure, SmartMedia™ is highly portable, making it an ideal removable data storage medium.
What devices use SmartMedia?
SmartMediaTM is appropriate for portable file storage equipment such as the digital camera, PDA, MP3 player, voice recorder and player, fax, printer, scanner, word processor and handy terminal, as well as equipment that processes such data.
In addition, it can be used in a range of ways with equipment that requires a removable memory for portability, version upgrades or memory upgrades.
What are the differences between Compact Flash and Smart Media?
Compact Flash cards are thicker than Smart Media. Both types work by erasing, writing and reading in small blocks rather than at byte level so they can deliver fast, reliable performance while allowing the user some flexibility.
What are the advantages of Flash Memory?
Flash Memory cards have a solid state design (no moving parts) so they offer much greater data protection than magnetic disk drives. The cards have low power requirements and can withstand extremely rapid changes in temperature and shocks.
