I searched Pelican and only came up with this:

An overwhelming amount of info is here:
Secure Digital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My question is how to best organize and preserve my SD info.
My cameras use the standard 2GB or 4GB cards.
I have my 8M camera set to 1200x1600, more than adequate for my current use.
They are so inexpensive ($2) that I simply use a new card when one gets full.
All the images are downloaded to both my laptop and desktop (which has a backup external drive.)
Do I need to periodically ‘refresh’ or transfer the data from/to cards to maintain the integrity of the data?
Is there a program that helps check/correct data errors?
Is it useful to format my new cards?
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/ from sdcard.org.
I don’t even know what kind of card is in my cell.
I want to try a HD video recorder.
At what point do cards with ∞ high-TB capacity, SDXC and Class 10+ come into play?
It appears that standard SD, miniSD and microSD differ only in physical size but are data-interchangeable.
Clearly some devices (HD TV @ 120HZ) should require a high data transfer rate.
The Class 10 (66x) seems to be 10 MB/sec while a (600x) 90 MB/sec version is listed.
Is there a brand difference when considering the high-end cards?
I see a wide range of $/GB on Amazon, not necessarily related to capacity.
With electronics, I’m very much a “
somewhere above mid-point but not at the extreme of the technology” type buyer.
My intent is to have long useful life while not pushing the limits of current technology or price.
So … let the SD card discussion begin.
Best,
