Memory cards are a type of portable flash storage device that are commonly used in portable electronic devices such as digital cameras, some mobile phones and various handheld devices.

These MicroSD cards are segregated by their bus speed - either High Speed or Ultra High Speed (UHS) - this defines the maximum throughput speed of the card; UHS I or U1 - 104MB/s; UHS II or U2 - 312MB/s; and UHS III or U3 - 624MB/s.

They are then broken down into size groups - MicroSDHC (High Capacity up to 32GB ), MicroSDXC (Extended capacity up to 512GB) and are denoted with ‘speed class’ or ‘video class’ ratings of C10 or V10 (up to 10MB/s), V30 (up to 30MB/s), V60 (up to 60MB/s) and V90 (up to 90MB/s), which define their minimum sequential write speeds for higher performance cards.

A range of CFast 2.0 memory cards certified for use with the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini camera system. The CFast 2.0 specification high performance memory cards are designed for the next generation of professional broadcast, cinema, and stills cameras and camcorders. Due to the SATA-III connectivity CFast 2.0 cards are ready to shoot Full HD and cinema-quality 4K video (4096x2160p) with unprecedented transfer speeds of up to 525 MB/s and write Speeds of up to 455 MB/s. Designed in parallel with leading-edge camera manufacturers, CFast 2.0 are compatible with a wide range of models from Arri, Blackmagic Design and Canon.
N.B. CFast 2.0 cards are physically and electrically different to Compact Flash and are not interchangeable.

CFexpress is the latest form of Compact Flash and is designed to keep up with the demands of the latest professional high-resolution cameras. Utilising PCIe3.0 to give blisteringly fast speeds up to 4,000MB/s making it more than ample to record pristine 4K footage without any dropped frame.. There are a number of different Formats of CFexpress; TypeA, Type B and Type C all with different sizes and speeds. Type A: 20x28x2.8mm up to 1000MB/s. Type B 38.5x29.6x3.8mm up to 2000MB/s. Type C 54x74x4.8mm up to 4000MB/s.

These card readers may be compact with a single type of slot or feature numerous slots to make them compatible with all the different types of card and older standards too such as Compact Flash. They all connect via USB to transfer data.

USB pen drives are a type of portable flash storage device that are commonly used to transfer files between devices such as tablets, laptops, desktop PCs and larger storage devices.

All feature a USB-A or a USB-C type interface but speeds will vary on the generation - USB 3.0 up to 5Gb/s, USB 3.1 up to 10Gb/s and USB 3.2 up to 20Gb/s.

Some USB pen drives are built for their compact size, whereas other offer ruggedised protection.

Direct attached storage (DAS) devices are designed to create easily expandable and secure data storage devices. They usually feature multiple drives, and unlike standard portable or desktop external drives, they feature RAID protection options and hot-swap capabilities for reducing down time should drive failure occur. They are designed to address the needs of professional home users or small business so they usually feature larger total capacities.

These DAS devices connect to a single computer via USB, eSATA, Thunderbolt, however if shared access is required you should consider a Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution.

SSDs (Solid State Drives) are the fastest type of data storage device, cutting game and application load times while boosting overall system responsiveness versus HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). SSDs are more resilient and consume less power than HDDs, making them an ideal choice for laptops.

External SSDs are ideal for adding more storage capacity to desktop PCs and laptops or transferring data between systems. These external SSDs connect to systems in a variety of ways, including mutiple versions of USB and Thunderbolt, so make sure to choose one that is compatible with your system(s).

You can check the compatibility of these SSDs with your system in your component documentation or our buyers guide.
