Flash is a NAND based flash memory storage device. Flash does not require a battery to retain data. The word 'Flash' covers all types of Memory Cards and USB Flash drives supplied by Inov8. 

The ''times'' figures are an indication of the cards speed. eg 1 x = 150kb/s , so our 60x Ultra Fast cards are 9,000kb/s or 9mb/s (150 x 60 = 9000). Obviously, this depends greatly on the ability of the device to transmit or request information, which is why you should check the requirements of the camera/device prior to choosing your card.

USB flash drives are using the USB protocol to interoperate with PCs and MACs and devices with a USB port. Typically USB Flash Drives use mass storage class drivers that are incorporated in Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP or later as well as Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X or later as well as Linux 2.4.6 or later. Inov8 Memory offer drivers for Windows 98 SE. Please click HERE to download the latest Windows 98 SE drivers, if you have only Windows 98 then an update for SE can be found free of charge on Windows update website, please select tools >> windows update at the top of your browser window.

A standard floppy disc can hold 1.44 MB, which is many times less storage space than a USB flash drive. So, instead of carrying 710 floppy discs, why not carry a 1GB pen!

When a card/flash drive is formatted it contains the File Allocation Table (FAT) this is approximately 5%, this is why your device may not show up as its full capacity.

You can store music on your Inov8 flash drive, you can also store anything you want!

USB 2.0 (Hi-speed USB) increases the data transfer rate from 12 Mbps (Megabits per second) of USB1.1 up to 480 Mbps.

USB specification version 2.0 is the next-generation peripheral connection for personal computers. It is intended as an upgrade for USB 1.1. Not only the new standard provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications but also offers Plug-and-Play capability and full backward compatibility for legacy USB devices.
