From an older revision of the page: "(I am not sure here) CompactFlash uses wear levelling while SmartMedia does not have any intelligence built in and presents the raw chip on its external interfaces." Can someone confirm or deny this? -- Schnee 18:07, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

How many times can you write in a memory card? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.85.195.133 ( talk) 13:08, 28 June 2005 (UTC)
"in cell-phones and PDA's, the memory card market is highly fragmented"
"Flash cards have been suggested as a possible replacement for the floppy disk, although USB flash memory drives, which work on almost any computer with a USB port, have been filling this role instead." <- that is based on what? -- Fs 07:21, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I think is highly questionable that a table, including prices, with direct links to amazon (a commercial entity) is put on the article, it makes me wonder about the true imparciallity of the article's author. In fact, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for online transactions or commercial links. I suggest that column of the table shpuld be removed.
I just noticed that the portuguese translation of this article contains a link that credits someone with referral bonus (credits)...

Here is the section about memory cards in the Nintendo GameCube article:
And here is the same section in this article:
Note that the GameCube article's sizes are larger. I'm also bringing this up in that article's discussion page. HoCkEy PUCK 19:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Note that I have temporarily changed the sizes in this article to the GCN's article. However, I am not certain if this is correct. If someone can verify it, please do so.
Four Megabits is 512 Kilobytes. The only apparent cause for confusion is that one uses Mi and the other uses M as a prefix to mean the same thing. Since both are used in the real world (for better or worse), it isn't clear to me that either should be the preferred form.

Most often you might find that the MMC you are using is showing write protected, after using it in the same card reader for a long time. If everything else fails and your card does read and write in another one, here lies the problem: To solve it you have to open the card reader and then don't connect it to the USB port. Now take the card and insert it in the slot. When inserting it, look at the side of the case of the card reader slot. You can see a small pin moving and trying to touch the pin which is projected a bit from the case. When they touch, you can write to the MMC, so in order to do that, simply bend the outer pin a little bit to the side, and now your card will be simply useful as before. OK, I found it myself...hope someone will find it helpfull! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.18.68 16:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
It'd be nice if the article had some information about the different write speeds of different types of cards, and how those are measured / advertised on different cards. Many manufacturers won't say on the cards they sell what they are. Looking at one which is near me, it's called: 'speedy' another is 'x133', and several have nothing at all on any of their packaging. It seems that manufacturers of cards are selling primarily based on form factor and size of memory only.

I bought a card reader the other day and noticed a slot for a "++" card. I have no idea what this could be refering to, except possibly a Nintendo DS "TT" card. The manual states it supports "++ and ++ M-series". It shares the SmartMedia slot, which made me think it was an xD slot at first, but it seems to have an extra 19th ground pin. Can anyone shed some light on this?

How to unlock memory card without losing data? Please help fast! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.97.219.197 ( talk) 14:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
To unlock a memory card without losing the data I would just follow the following steps: Fix 1. Switch Card Lock Fix 2. Unlock with Password Fix 3. Remove Write Protection Fix 4. Format Memory Card Bonus Tip. Recover Data

This article refers to fat32 as a hardware format. That's incorrect isn't it? Also it's missing a citation 2600:1700:8DF7:29F:882E:50B1:C555:BDD2 ( talk) 09:29, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
