MicroSD cards are widely used to expand the memory of smartphones, cameras, drones, handheld gaming systems, and IoT gadgets. Despite their tiny size, they offer impressive capacities, ranging from 1GB right the way up to 2TB, which is a huge amount of storage for something so tiny.
They’re easy to swap, inexpensive per gigabyte, and compatible with a broad range of devices through adapters.
Performance varies by speed class - Class 10, UHS-I, UHS-II, and V-rated cards indicate how quickly they can read and write data, which matters for tasks like 4K video recording or burst-photo shooting.
Modern cards also include durability features such as resistance to water, temperature extremes, and shocks.
