In terms of capacity, two types of micro SD cards are available. These are: micro SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards and micro SDXC (secure digital extra capacity) cards. The micro SDHCcard fulfils the capacity requirement between 2GB and 32GB, while the micro SDXC card goes far beyond the 32GB capacity.Currently, the largest microSDXC card is 128GB, which is smaller than the largest SDXC card, mainly because of the small physical size of the Micro SD cards.
Wider Applications of the MicroSD Industry
Apart from the use of the SD cards in smartphones and tablets, they are also finding application in the industrial sector. For example,in the automotive sector,SD cards are used for capturing videos from various external cameras.
