More and more these days, users of portable electronic devices are storing data on portable memory sources. This is true especially for users of mobile phones, portable global positioning system (GPS) devices, and video and audio players and recorders. One of the primary formats for these portable memory sources is a microSD card.

A microSD card is one of the smallest flash memory cards on the market today. It is manufactured by SanDisk, which lends the SD to the name. The other part of the name comes from the tiny size of the card.

SanDisk originally manufactured the SD card, which was a bit larger than the microSD card. Then came the miniSD card, which was a bit smaller. Finally came the microSD card, the smallest of them all.

As its name suggests, a microSD card is tiny. Most technical measurements for the microSDcard put it at 15x11x1. That's millimeters, of course, and the card is roughly the size of a fingernail. In the race to store more information in less space, the microSD card is at the head of the class.
