What is an SD card?
An SD card is a removable memory card for storing digital data. Created in 2000, it was the result of an alliance between several household name manufacturers: Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba. Today, SD cards are primarily used to store files in digital cameras, video cameras, navigation systems (e.g., GPS), video game consoles, smartphones, and largely in embedded systems.
Over the past 10 years, SD cards have gradually become the standard for data storage in embedded systems, thanks to the various advantages they offer. SD cards are available in several formats and storage capacities; therefore, they are very versatile and can be used in a variety of settings.
there are also different standards within SD cards depending on their storage capacity:
SD: up to 2 GB of storage
SDHC: from 2 GB to 32 GB of storage
SDXC: from 32 GB to 2 TB of storage
SDUC: from 2 TB to 128 TB of storage
