What is the Mini SD card?

Mobile phones more than ever are able to take pictures, store music or record video. These files can often be considerable and quickly fill the storage on the device. Many of these electronics have an area for memory cards. The most common format for memory cards of mobile devices is the Mini SD card. While more small in appearance, the mini SD card is as capable as its big brother, the SD card.

The development of SD cards was a joint cooperation between three companies - Toshiba, Sandisk and Panasonic. Sandisk is a well -known producer of these cards, and sometimes "SD" is mistakenly assumed that it is behind Sandisk. In fact, it is a shortcut for Secure Digital. Standard SD cards are approximately the size of the postal stamps and were the first of this line to be developed. As smaller electronics became increasingly popular, the need for smaller memory cards grew.

Mobile technology progress has indeed exploded at the beginning of the 21st century and their value continues to expand. MeThe SD card was originally designed to meet the needs of this increasing need for a mobile device. Mini SD comes to 37 percent of SD card size and is more suitable for use in these still compact devices.

Measurement of only 20 millimeters by 21.5 millimeters with a thickness of 1.4 millimeters is the mini SD card by the center of three options from the size of memory card manufacturers. Despite their smaller size, these SD cards are able to act as speeds equivalent to standard SD cards. Regular mini SD cards come in capacities up to two gigabytes. Larger storage capacity is available in minisdhc or in high SD capacity.

Although the Mini SD cards were originally designed for mobile devices, their use has expanded to other electronics such as MP3 players, digital cameras and handkerchiefs. Memory card developers continued with an envelope when creating smallercards. There are Micro SD cards that are almost half the size of a mini SD card.

data transfer between electronics, such as a phone to a computer or camera to a printer, is usually easier when using an SD card adapter. Most mini and micro SD cards are sold with an SD adapter that allows them to put a full -size SD card in the SD card slot. This makes tasks such as changing images or music between computer and portable electronics, much more convenient.
