Question About Solid State Memory
Why does solid state memory (CompactFlash, Memory Stick) come in factors of 2? This question has puzzled me for a long time, and it just now occurred to me to ask. So yeah... Anyone know why?
EDIT: Also, while I'm at it, which type is the best and why? |

Re: Question About Solid State Memory
It's about simplifying the design process. It easier to double a memory controller by connecting 2 of the same type together than design a whole new one from scratch.
Best???? Hard to answer. Compact flash is might(?) be bigger in physical size, but it's cheaper and comes in many more varieties. EDIT: my vote is CF because of the cost/varieties. Also you can swap it w/ those tiny hard drives. |

USB key drives are the best, man.
I got one that has 256MB and is an MP3 player (includes USB cable and good headphones) for $55 Canadian! |
