•High-Quality Connectors: Kingston’s flash storage devices have connectors rated for more than 10,000 insertions.
•Operating Temperature and Humidity: 0° C ~ 60° C, 5% ~ 95% humidity
•High-Capacity:Flash storage devices can provide large storage capacities in a very small form factor. This flexibility makes them ideal for consumer uses, such as digital film or storage for MP3 music, where portability and convenience are important.
Please note: Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. Please see Section 2 for details.
•High-Performance:Kingston’s Elite Pro and Hi-Speed DataTraveler USB flash drives are faster than many standard flash products and many competitive products. Kingston’s engineers test and select high-performance controllers to ensure that Kingston’s flash cards are among the performance leaders. Please see the Appendix for information about USB and Hi-Speed USB performance. Kingston standard flash products offer moderate performance levels for general purpose applications.
•Low Power Consumption: Unlike standard DRAM memory that needs to be constantly powered on to maintain its data, flash memory is non-volatile and does not require power to maintain its data. Flash memory’s low power consumption results in longer battery life for the host device.
•Plug and Play Support: Kingston’s flash memory line supports plug and play. With plug and play technology and compatible computer operating systems, a flash storage device can be inserted into a computer or a flash media reader and be quickly recognized and accessed by the computer.
•Hot-Swapping Support: Hot-swapping allows for plugging or unplugging flash storage devices into a compatible computer or reader without needing to power off and restart the computer. This feature enhances the portability and convenience of flash storage devices for transferring data, pictures or music between two computers or devices.
4.0Non-Volatile NOR and NAND Flash Technologies
Unlike Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), flash memory is non-volatile. Non-volatile memory retains data even without being powered-on. For example, when a computer is turned off, all data that was in the computer’s DRAM memory is lost; however, when a flash storage device is removed from a digital camera, all data
