Your LifeBook notebook supports the following memory
cards, on which you can store and transfer data to and
from a variety of digital devices. These cards use flash
memory architecture, which means they don’t need a
power source to retain data.
■ SD Memory Card
■ Mini SD Card
■ Memory Stick Media
■ Memory Stick Select Media
■ Memory Stick Duo Media
■ Memory Stick PRO Media
■ xD-Picture Cards™
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed
by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record,
transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures,
movies, music, voice, and computer data and applica-
tions.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD
Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices,
such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and
PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery
consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses flash
memory architecture.
xD-Picture Cards work the same as Memory Sticks and
SD Cards, but they are much smaller than either one. xD-
Picture Cards are primarily used to store and transfer
images with devices such as cell phones.
