Memoery card/stick to store photos on

[Jillius]

I have hundreds of photos on my computer and I need to put them all on a memory stick but I have no idea what sort to get. There are so many different types that I am stumped. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That should say memory !!

Basically any memory stick. A 1gig one will hold plenty, but they are as cheap as chips now so chances are you will be able to get one bigger for just a few quid more.

Hi,
You could put them on a usb stick like this one

Or a memory card similar to those used in cameras

Size you need will depend on how many pictures you have and how big they are. You might be better off cost wise burning them on to a cdr or dvdr as the discs only cost a few pence each

I have been putting them on cd but I have so many now that I want to store them on something smaller.

don't really follow your logic

cd\dvd is "made for the job". while a memory stick is smaller it's still volatile memory .... just unplugging it at the wrong time could result in you loosing the lot.
and memory sticks do have a finite storage life before they start to forget (off the top of my head I think it's 5 years?)

I know you could argue that scratching a cd will have the same result .... but a decent quality cd will last much longer than a memory stick.

a memory stick is best suited to transporting files .... not storing them

In that case I might just keep putting them on cd !
Thanks for the advice.
There was never meant to be any logic......I just don't understand what all these gadgets do lol
