Removable Flash Media Information

Removable flash media is a memory device. It is about the size of a postage stamp. The benefits of this card include a high data transfer rate and low battery consumption. It uses flash memory to provide nonvolatile storage. This means that a power source is not required to retain stored data.

NOTE: This help page may include information about features not supported by your system. Server Administrator only displays features that are supported on your system.
NOTE: Internal SD card and vFlash media refer to certified SD card and vFlash media.
