An SD card is just a piece of removable media that you store files on. It’s like the hard drives you have in your computer, except that it’s smaller and more portable. They’re used in devices like digital cameras, phones, and tablets.
SD cards come in three sizes:standard, mini, and micro. Each requires a different adapter type unless you have a hybrid SD reader designed to work with multiple kinds.
