Archie Pelago Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 This popped into my inbox earlier today from an online deals site in Thailand. Something not quite right in one of the photos for the product, unless I am missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVisionBurma Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You mean the perpetual energy connection? Not quite, keep looking. It did my head in when I first saw it, I kept thinking "now why would that particular thing be in that place?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not sure about that.......are you sure that is not an equivalent of the little sony mp3 players which need to be charged in a usb port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure. I have the exact same Sandisk USB thumb drive, and it should not be stuck into a USB charging station. That's what made me spot it in the first place.

Archie Pelago Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Its a flash storage drive, not a media player. Shouldn't be charged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of a flash cell before, certainly not a tired one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of a flash cell before, certainly not a tired one No need to apologise....glad the thread didn't end there. My quip works on another level also; flash drives work by applying a charge to the cell and flipping the bit. Eventually the cells can no longer be flipped as physically they are worn out. On an SSD at least the controller monitors how many cycles the cells have been through and moves the data to the over-provisioned area if available in order to maintain data integrity. So my little snort snort chuckle nerd joke has been explained. Hope it hasn't lost anything I'm translation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Have to put a good kiwi sheepdog minaturised and put into the cell. He would soon get the bits in their right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Considering how FLASH memory works on a physical level I never cease to be amazed that it actually does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
