Memory Stick/
Secure Digital Cards
Your LifeBook notebook supports Memory Sticks and
Secure Digital (SD) cards, on which you can store and
transfer data to and from a variety of digital devices.
These cards use flash memory architecture, which means
they don’t need a power source to retain data.
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology that allows
you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as
digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer
data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks. Like Memory Sticks, SD Cards allow portable
storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones,
GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards
transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption.
Like the memory stick, it uses flash memory architec-
ture.

Memory Stick and SD Cards are installed in the Memory
Stick/SD Card slot (Figure 4-5). To install an Memory
