It’s been almost a year since I wrote about the various media card formats. Over time, one of the 19 potential formats has come out on top. I knew one would, because that’s how manufacturers and consumers eventually, organically work. The question is, which one?

\"MicroSD\"

MicroSD<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

The answer is the Secure Ditigal or SD card.<\/p>\n

I am no master of the technological realm, so my dubbing of the SD card as Card Keisar isn’t by any means official. And as far as I know, the International Institute for Declaring Official Media Card Royalty doesn’t exist. So I’m free to pontificate.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to read my original blog post. Or just click the link and witness the eight images I created to represent the different media card sizes and formats. It’s madness!<\/p>\n

As a technology writer, I purchased each of those formats. I have one of those 19-in-one card readers. I used all 19 of the combinations as research for the blog post, as well as for writing my various books. That’s about the only time I’ve used those media cards.<\/p>\n

Today, the only media card I use is the SD card.<\/p>\n

Android gizmos that feature removable storage use the Micro SD card. (Even the internal storage is a Micro SD card, although you can’t get at that card without disassembling the device.) While it’s a different format, it’s still an SD card. In fact, most of the Micro SD cards come with a full-sized SD card adapter or USB plug-in thingie.<\/p>\n

So forget all those other standards! Almost 20 years after the floppy drive began its final curtain call, the SD Card gets the crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
