Digital Memory Cards Prove Indestructible
An article today on the BBC website, drawing on research by the UK magazine Digital Camera Shopper, reports that CompactFlash, Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick and Smartmedia cards all happily survived a range of tests designed to destroy them:
“Holiday-makers capturing precious memories on digital cameras need not worry about losing their snaps.
The memory cards in most cameras are virtually indestructible, found Digital Camera Shopper magazine.
Five memory card formats survived being boiled, trampled, washed and dunked in coffee or cola.”
