SD Card

***

Relevant Background: "The SD card is a proprietary, non-volatile, flash memory card format developed by the SD Association (SDA). They come in three physical forms: the full-size SD, the smaller miniSD (now obsolete), and the smallest, microSD. Owing to their compact form factor, SD cards have been widely adopted in a variety of portable consumer electronics, including digital cameras, camcorders, video game consoles, mobile phones, action cameras, and camera drones.[1][2]

The format was introduced in August 1999 as Secure Digital by SanDisk, Panasonic (then known as Matsushita), and Kioxia (then part of Toshiba). It was designed as a successor to the MultiMediaCard (MMC) format, introducing several enhancements including a digital rights management (DRM) feature, a more durable physical casing, and a mechanical write-protect switch. These improvements, combined with strong industry support, contributed to its widespread adoption....microSD cards are widely used in mobile phones to expand storage, offering offline, low-latency access that benefits tasks like photography, video recording, and file transfers, especially in areas with limited connectivity or costly data plans.[123] Data on removable cards can also be preserved independently of device failure, aiding recovery.

Support for microSD is prevalent in Android smartphones.[124] In contrast, Apple has never included microSD card slots in the iPhone, relying solely on built-in flash storage and cloud services..." (SD card - Wikipedia)
