SanDisk SD Memory Card

Memory Cards

If your desk drawer is like ours, you have a couple of spare memory cards lying around. These postage stamp-sized Flash cards are typically used in digital cameras to store your photos. But if you have an extra one or two you can also copy over digital documents, music and other kinds of files to keep in a safe place (such as a safety deposit box). If you don’t have any you can spare, prices start at about $6 for a 1GB SecureDigital (SD) card from the likes of Kingston (www.kingston.com), PNY (www.pny.com) and SanDisk (www.sandisk.com). Be sure your PC or printer has a media card reader to simplify this process.
