Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 2 GB Elite Pro Secure Digital Memory Card ( SD/2GB-S )Customer Review: One of the very few SLC SD cards Summary: 5 Stars
What most people are not aware of, is that there are two distinct Flash RAM technologies: one is SLC (single level cell) and the other is MLC (multiple level cell). Without getting into the technical details of these technologies, the consumer should know that MLC offers savings to the manufacturer, because MLC Flash can store more data on the same surface as SLC. However, this saving translates into a net loss for the consumer, as MLC have a rewrite cycle count of 5000-10.000, while SLC have above 100.000 (mostly considered to be around 1.000.000). If you only plan on saving your data just a few times on the same medium, whether it's MLC or SLC will not make much difference. However, if you plan on using it as an external storage in a netbook (such as, keep it in the SD adapter slot continually, and use it as an additional solid state drive, SSD), I would strongly recommend an SLC card.
However, manufacturers have abused the users' ignorance on just how much more reliable SLC is compared to MLC, and have introduced the MLC devices to increase their margins without informing anyone how much worse a deal they get. In this climate of high competition, almost all manufacturers of Flash devices have switched to MLC. Thus it is commendable to find a select few who still offer the option of buying an SLC device.
If you need a larger SLC storage and Compact Flash is an option, I recommend Kingston's Elite Pro CF line of cards - they, too, are made with SLC technology.
