You'll probably have also noticed that there's even more to SD cards than just capacity: time to talk about performance. The table above, from the SD Association, shows how the Secure Digital technology has changed over the past two decades and highlights just how quickly they grew in storage capacity.
SDUC is still very new, so it will be some time before we see produces routinely supporting it 128 TB of storage should be enough for the majority of users for years to come! The need for increased storage continually grows, thanks to bigger games, more complex apps, and cameras sporting ever higher resolutions - but there will always be an SD card for everyone's needs and budget. SDSC, SDHC, and SDXC cards are supported in a wide range of devices, such as laptops, smartphones, drones, and digital cameras. The exFAT file format was specifically designed for NAND flash devices and is likely to remain the standard for many more years. SDHC is nearly always FAT32 and the XC/HC versions use exFAT. SDSC is restricted to FAT12, FAT16, and FAT16B.
Because there is a big difference in the storage sizes, each category also has restrictions of the file format used.
These cards sport an extra device that provides additional functions, such as a Bluetooth or GPS receiver. The fifth category, Secure Digital Input Output ( SDIO), are special in that they contain more than just storage. SDUC (Secure Digital Ultra Capacity): More than 2 to 128 TB of storage.SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity): More than 32 GB to 2 TB of storage.SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity): More than 2 to 32 GB of storage.SD or SDSC (Secure Digital Standard Capacity): maximum storage of 2 GB.There's also a further 5 categories within the size classes, that indicate the connection system and data capacity of the card:
Always adjust the portable audio unit or a similar product while the vehicle is stopped.Standard SD cards all come with a small locking toggle, that enables/disables the ability to write or delete data on the card however, mini and microSD cards don't have this feature.
