3-in-1 Flash Card Readers
The front port bay provides two 3-in-1 Flash Card
readers, greatly enhancing the functionality of your
Aspire computer. The readers accept the following
cards:
Memory Stick
Memory Stick is a flash memory card from Sony that
was originally designed for handheld digital
appliances such as cameras and camcorders. The tiny
module measures just 21.5mm x 50mm x 2.8mm.
Multimedia Card (MMC)
MMC is a storage module used in small handheld
devices such as cell phones, pagers and PDAs. The
ultra-small card measures 24mm x 32mm x 1.4mm
and weighs less than two grams. Currently, the
maximum available storage capacity for these cards is
64MB, with a 128MB version expected soon.
SD Card
SD (Secure Digital) Card provides secure storage for
handheld devices such as cell phones and PDAs. It has
the same form factor as the Multimedia Card, but is
slightly thicker (2.1mm). Although its encryption
capability supports security and content protection
applications, its fast data transfer rate (10Mbytes/sec)
has made it ideally suited for regular flash memory
storage.
Using Flash Cards
•
To load a Flash Card, simply push the card into
one of the two slots. Windows will automatically
detect the card's presence.
