Microdrives draw more power than solid state CF cards. Usually the write speed is the more important since it determines or can influence the maximum speed at which a digital camera can shoot under some conditions, such as while the memory buffer is filling.
If the camera can write out data to the card fast enough, the buffer will never fill. That requires both a fast card and high speed camera data transfer.
Just one or the other is not enough. Speed is often given as a multiplier, such as x, x or x. The current range is up to x. Note that these are the maximum speeds at which the card can operate under ideal conditions with the fastest possible optimized interface.
Note that there are two different types of memory cells used in CF memory. There's also a slower but cheaper architecture called Multi Level Cell which stores two bits in each cell. Both technologies are getting faster, but the fastest cards are always based on SLC technology. The main advantage of MLC is in cost per megabyte.
The solid-state construction of these cards makes them more durable and rugged than other traditional storage devices. This type of card is available in a variety of sizes from 4GB to GB. The read speed is the rate at which a device or computer can retrieve the information from a card. The write speed specifies the speed at which data can be written onto the card.
Both read and write speed is important but for professional photographers, write speed is the main concern. Typically, most memory cards have read speed higher than write speed. If you need to write speed closer to the read speed, look for a high-end, best CF card. Most of the memory cards have a standard speed of up to kbps. CF cards are more reliable than other types of data storage media because it lacks moving parts. However, a CF card may get damaged if it is improperly inserted into a device.
Misuse and physical damage may cause data loss. The operating shock rating of a CF card is 2, gauss G. The Compact Flash standard was better planned. Older CF devices recognize any CF card. I have, on much more than one occasion. The best reason for Compact Flash cards is their durability.
As can our cameras. The only way to safeguard from that is to shoot with a camera that has double SD card slots and allow one card to be used as a back up. You could also approach important projects with a new SD card to substantially decrease the odds of any issues. Thank you for you feedback and I hope your memory CF or otherwise never fails. Take care! I shoot scenery and wildlife for the majority of my work and the durability issue is huge for me.
The data was unrecoverable by Sandisk, so I lost a day of street photos from New Orleans. I was advised to always format the card in the camera. Never had a CF failure.
