Which is better: magnetic stripe card or ID card?

Which is better: magnetic stripe card or ID card?
    Many friends are asking, is it better to get a magnetic stripe card or an ID card? So, we should analyze this issue case by case and not just say which card is better, but rather compare them.
    So let's first take a look at the functions of magnetic stripe cards.

1: Magnetic stripe cards are relatively inexpensive because their magnetic stripes have limited storage space, which is determined by strict requirements. They can only store some 18-digit numbers or letters.

2: The lifespan of magnetic stripe cards is shorter because magnetic stripes are a thin layer of material composed of arranged and oriented iron oxide particles (also called pigments). They are tightly bonded with resin adhesives and bonded to non-magnetic substrate media such as paper or plastic. Compared to ID cards, it has a shorter lifespan.

3: Magnetic stripe cards are easy to counterfeit, because magnetic stripe cards store less and are relatively simple, making them easy to counterfeit.

    Let's take a look at some functions of the ID card.

1: The ID card has a long service life. Because it is sensing, it does not come into direct contact with the machine. As long as the chip inside the ID card is intact, it will be used indefinitely. There are many causes of failure, such as breaking or water damage. The carrier frequency of the ID card is 125KHz (THRC12) or 13.56MHz (THRC13); The modulation method for transmitting data to the card reader is loading amplitude modulation; The in-card data encoding uses BPSK phase-shift keying with strong anti-interference capability; The data transmission rate from card to reader is 3.9kbps (THRC12) or 6.62kbps (THRC13); data storage uses EEPROM, with retention time exceeding 10 years; data storage capacity is 64 bits, including manufacturer, publisher, and user code; Once the card number is written before sealing, it cannot be changed, ensuring absolute uniqueness and security;

2: ID card recordability: ID cards cannot write data; their recorded content (card number) can only be written by chip manufacturers in a single transaction, and developers can only read card numbers for use, making it impossible to establish new number management systems based on system needs.

3: ID card storage capacity: The ID card only records the card number, and the number of digits is not much different from that of magnetic stripe cards. This function is essentially the same as that of magnetic stripe cards.
