FLASH Card
A device for recording data. A FLASH card has the same characteristics as a hard disk in that
data is not erased even when the power is turned off, but because it has no mechanical
components, it can be used more easily than a hard disk. There are various types of FLASH
cards, including “Compact Flash” and “Smart Media”, which can be used in a wide range of
devices like portable computers and digital cameras.
