The least expensive one I have came across was the Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader for $14.99
Flash memory stores permanent information on some palm-sized computers. Unlike RAM (random-access memory), flash memory can continue to store information in the absence of a power source. Palm devices often make use of flash memory to store the operating system and core applications. Unlike ROM (read-only memory), you can write to flash memory, making it possible to update the operating system and applications via software. Flash memory is more expensive than ROM. Memory sticks, flash drives etc (the little sticks you plug into a USB port) all use flash memory
No, not all flash drive are very expensive. In fact many flash drives are realitively affordable for many people. An example of a general price range for flash drives is about $8 up to the most expensive $69. The price is related to the size however, so for flash drives with more memory you can expect to have to pay more.
Because light is fast. And a flash is light. And flash memory is fast.
Memory sticks use flash memory.
USB is not a flash drive. A flash drive is so called because it uses flash memory that retains data with no power.
A flash memory card is a card that holds digital data. An example of a flash memory card would be an SD Card, Micro SD, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Flash Drive (Thumb Drive, USB key). All Ipod models except the ipod classic use flash memory. Flash memory has no moving parts, but, hardrives do. Those are classified under, non-flash memory. Flash memory cards have different memory capacities. The higher the capacity, the more expensive it will be. But, the higher capacity, the more stuff can be put on it. Hope this helps
