Storage Flexibility and Portability

All these storage devices are quite small. Standard cards, the largest, are 1.25 inches high, 0.59 inches wide and less than 0.1 inches thick. Micro SD cards are about half that size. In fact, they're so small that many include card and thumb drive adapters that make them easier to handle and use with desktop or laptop computers.

The most common use for standard SD cards is in media devices such cameras and video recorders, and almost all cell phones have a micro SD card slot. SD memory cards are also compatible with many tablets, and some game consoles use them to store save games or player information. Many modern computers include memory card readers that provide access to data stored on these devices.

Which Speed 32GB SD Card?

They read and write data at 2 to 6 megabytes per second. Class 10 and UHS 1 cards read and write 10 megabytes per second.
