RIDATA Introduces SMART Flash Cards |

Compact flash cards are slowly becoming a thing of the past, being replaced by SD cards, but there are still alot of cameras that rely on the older format. So RIDATA is looking out for you. They just introduced what they call the SMART compact flash card.
They are SMART because the have a new internal data monitoring system that ensures you never experience any data loss. It’s nice to have alot of storage in your camera, but not a pleasant feeling when you lose an important file. The cards also have embedded error correction code (ECC) which I believe is a fancy way of saying that it has “back up power Captain”, should something truly go wrong.

Sigh. No, ECC memory is simply a way of recording redundant information in a way which allows you to correct single bit errors when the data is read and spot but not correct two-bit errors.
As any elementary textbook would tell you, you lazy child.
