[H] Performance of CF, SD vs USB Flash for movies

2006-08-10 Thread Anthony Q. Martin
I'm wondering if any of you have any experience watching AVI files (or any movie file) of a movie from a compact flash, SD, or USB 2 Flash drive? How do the SD and CF compare to USB 2.0 in terms of playback performance? Thanks.

I have an 8 GB CF card. I put seveval AVIs on it and tried to watch one. It was choppy. Put the same on the 6 GB USB drive, and it played back fine. The CF card claims 120X in speed. I'd rather have the movies on the CF card as that won't stick out the side of my UMPC like a USB drive

Depends on what happened to the drive. If it won't spin up or get recognized by the BIOS then your only shot is probably a data recovery company like Tim's. But if you can access the drive and are just trying to recover data you might try SpinRite or File Scavenger first. Both are fairly cheap
