I'm stuck between 2 cards at 2 diffrent prices.
KingMax would cost be just about 80$ shipped and ATP would cost me $91 shipped.
I own an orginal N-gage. And i'm looking to upgrade mmc's. Which would be a better buy for me? I've heard that ATP has a better build quailty then kingMax. Both have been proven to work on n-gages, so i'm not worried there. I think its the price factor thats getting to me.
I need more info about ATP's card.
this is the info i got on kingmax from ATP people
____________
Kingmax uses a manufacturing process called PIP, a process involving plastic injection.
The use of plastic has its limitations. If you ever have to take your
device through more extreme environments such as snow or hot
temperatures, then this may affect you. As you probably know, extreme
temperatures and plastics usually don't mix very well. The kingmax
cards actually use plastic to completely encapsulate all the flash
components, so imagine the plastic expanding and contracting WITH the
flash components, not really a good thing.
I'm not so sure Kingmax uses SLC flash ICs for
their MMC cards. ATP only uses SLC for our flash. If you don't know
the difference, SLC is faster, and has the longest data retention and
lifetime in the industry. Most flash found (sandisk, lexar, etc) use
cheaper MLC flash.
-----------------------------
My question is can anyone verify what i've been told. And can you confirm if kingmax uses SLC. Also the person only mention that kingmax uses PIP but never stated if ATP used PIP or not.
Any suggestions and comments would be very greatly appreicated. Or should i go with another party.
