What does a memory card mean?

 A memory card is an electronic storage device used to store digital media, such as images and videos. In photography, memory cards are commonly used in digital cameras, with differences in type, shape, capacity, speed, class, and brand. The most common memory cards today are SD, microSD, XQD, and CFexpress.


Secure digital cards, or "SD cards", were developed jointly by SanDisk, Panasonic, and Toshiba and were first used in 1999 on handheld devices. Then after its spread, the SD card standards formed and became widespread.


SD Card Properties:

  1. Small size.

  2.  It's costless.
