Memory Stick/Secure Digital/xD Cards
Your LifeBook notebook supports Memory Sticks, Secure Digital (SD), and xD-Picture 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.
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology that allows you to record, transfer and share digital content,
such as digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks. Like Memory Sticks, 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.
