Review: Toshiba FlashAir 32GB Wireless LAN SHDC |
Welcome to Myce’s brief review of the Toshiba FlashAir 32GB Wireless
LAN SHDC Memory Card.
Specification
Here is Toshiba’s summary specification for the FlashAir
32GB memory card -

Here is a picture of the card that I tested, and its
packaging.–
So the card has a fairly large capacity (32GB) and is
reasonably fast (Class 10 – at least 10MB/s sustained write speed). However, the
real differentiating feature is that the FlashAir card allows one to connect to
any appropriate target device (such as a smart phone, notebook or tablet
computer) that supports a WiFi connection so that pictures can be transferred
wirelessly without the need to remove the card from a source device (such as a
camera).
I can't help but feel that it is a miracle of modern
technology that something so small can hold 32GB of NAND storage and a Wi-Fi chip.
When power is supplied to the FlashAir card in a source
device the card puts up its own Wi-Fi network. It is a simple matter of
connecting a target device to this Wi-Fi network to be able to view and copy
the pictures on the card. Essentially, it is as easy as that and there is
little or no need to complicate things by moving away from this basic
understanding.
Now let's head to the next page, to look at Myce’s Testing
of the FlashAir card.....
