subject: Importance Of 16gb Micro Sd Cards [print this page] Micro SD is basically a format that is used for removable flash memory cards. These cards are used in various devices like digital cameras, media players, cell phones, audio players, USB flash memory drives. MicroSD cards are so called because of their physical dimensions which is 15mm 11mm 1mm; making them the smallest memory cards that are available commercially. This dimension corresponds to about a quarter size of a standard SD card. MicroSD cards have a capacity ranging from 64MB to 16GB. Also, it is known that a 12GB version of the microSD card was created by SanDisk but never released.
Certain specific adapters are available that permit the MicroSD cards to be used in devices that are confined to SD, Memory stick, USB and miniSD cards. The 16GB MicroSD cards are different from SDHC (secure Digital High Capacity) cards. Even thought both of them have a similar form factor, the difference essentially lies in the compatibility offered by other devices to the high capacity cards. Not all devices are presently ready to operate with an SDHC card.
The 16 GB MicroSD of the class 4 types have excellent data transfer capability. Soon, a higher version, namely the 32 GB MicroSD card is expected to be launched. The MicroSD cards are now the most popular successors of the MiniSD cards. These cards are now being rapidly adopted by mobile handset manufacturers as they are easily supported by the standard SD interface and are highly compact in size. The microSD cards are again backward compatible with devices. Especially with devices that are only compatible with the standard SD format. However, the use of a suitable adapter can resolve this problem and allow any MicroSD card to be used in the device.
