Use a Photo Memory Card as a Flash Drive


The next time you need to tote a giant data file to or from work, don't fret if you don't have a flash drive handy. Simply pop the SD (or other memory card) out of a digital camera and use it instead, assuming it's large enough for your purposes. For large files you'll get the best performance using faster SDHC cards, an SDHC card reader (instead of a plain SD reader) and plug into a USB 2.0 port -- older computers and the USB slots on many older Macs are USB 1.0, which may take forever or be simply unable to support a card reader).
