SD cards are the flash memory of choice for many devices. Digital cameras, small camcorders, action video cameras, cell phones, MP3 players and digital audio recorders are just a few of the devices that make use of SD technology. 8GB SD cards offer convenient storage space at a comparatively low cost, so give consumers good value.

Device Compatibility
The first consideration is whether the card is compatible with the intended device. 8GB SD cards fall into the SDHC card category. Most cameras and devices are compatible with SDHC cards, but not all. Manufacturer documentation will specify whether or not these cards will work with your device.

How Much it Holds
The next important consideration is storage space. An 8GB SD card will hold well over 1,000 images, which is plenty for most users. An 8GB card will hold around 150 photos from an 18-megapixel camera shooting in RAW format. DSLR camera users who shoot in RAW formats may prefer an SD card with more memory space, or may wish to keep several 8GB cards on hand. A video camera that captures 1080p video can typically shoot between 80 and 120 minutes with 8GB of space. Those who take frequent videos may want to consider a larger card, with some holding up to 128GB.

Card Write Speed
SD cards record images and data at various speeds. Cards with higher data transfer rates are able to record high-resolution images and videos more effectively than ones with lower transfer rates. SD card data transfer rates are separated into what are called speed classes. They are typically indicated on the front of the card with a capital letter "C" with a number inside. So, a "C" with the number 4 inside indicates Class 4 data rates. They are available in classes 2, 4, 6 and 10. The higher the class rating, the faster the data transfer rate. A Class 4 SD card will suffice for most consumer cameras. Cameras with very high image resolutions or that capture HD video typically require a Class 10 for fast and consistent performance.

Additionally, Ultra High Speed (UHS) cards are available that accommodate high-end HD and 4K resolution video cameras. These are indicated by a capital letter "U" with either a 1 or a 3 inside. These numbers represent the UHS speed class, with 3 being faster than 1.

MicroSD Cards
Some devices use a smaller form of SD card called microSD. They function the same as standard SD cards but are made to fit into smaller devices such as action video cameras and cell phones. MicroSD cards do not fit into standard SD card readers so you will need an SD card adapter in order to connect these small cards to a computer. These are often included in the purchase of a microSD card.

Keeping these SD card specifications in mind will make selecting the right card quicker and easier. Staples has a wide selection of 8GB options to meet your SD card needs.
