Name four different storage devices?

Let's see: Harddrive Solid State Memory (RAM) Optical (DVD / CD / Etc) Memory Cards? (SD Memory / CF Memory / Etc) Technically the last would be the same as RAM, but it isn't used the same. RAM is used in most computers as temporary memory. This memory only retains information while power is provided to it. Once the power is removed then it loses everything. With a memory card type of memory such as NAND type of memory, information stored in the memory card is retained even when the power is removed (USB memory sticks / SD memory / etc).


What is a flash camcorder?

Flash Camcorders are camcorders which record video onto flash memory instead of a video tape. The flash memory can be a removable memory card (SDHC, Memory Stick, xD), or it can be built-in memory which is not removable. Some camcorders like the Canon HF S10 have both removable memory and built-in memory. Removable memory is generally better in a flash camcorder because when you fill the memory, you can record more by inserting an empty memory card. Whereas with built-in you have to move the videos onto a computer before recording more video. See related links for a list of flash camcorders.
