Market penetration

Secure Agenda cards are acclimated in abounding customer cyberbanking devices, and accept become a boundless agency of autumn several gigabytes of abstracts in a baby size. Accessories area the user may abolish and alter cards often, such as agenda cameras, camcorders, and video bold consoles, tend to use full-sized cards. Accessories area baby admeasurement is paramount, such as adaptable phones, tend to use microSD cards. SD cards are not the a lot of economical band-aid in accessories that charge alone a baby bulk of non-volatile memory, such as base presets in baby radios. They may aswell not present the best best for applications area college accumulator capacities or speeds are a claim as provided by added beam agenda standards such as Compact Flash.

Many claimed computers of all types and claimed agenda administration (PDAs) use SD cards, either through congenital slots or through an alive cyberbanking adaptor. Adaptors abide for the PC card, ExpressBus, USB, FireWire, and the alongside printer port. Alive adaptors aswell let SD cards be acclimated in accessories advised for added formats. such as CompactFlash. The FlashPath adaptor lets SD cards be acclimated in a billowing deejay drive.

SD/MMC cards replaced Toshiba's SmartMedia as the ascendant anamnesis agenda architecture acclimated in agenda cameras. In 2001, SmartMedia had accomplished about 50% use, but by 2005 SD/MMC had accomplished over 40% of the agenda camera bazaar and SmartMedia's allotment had plummeted, with cards not getting calmly accessible in 2007.

At this time all the arch agenda camera manufacturers use SD in their customer artefact lines, including Canon, Casio, Fujifilm, Kodak, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh, Samsung, and Sony. Formerly, Olympus and Fujifilm acclimated XD-Picture Cards (xD cards) exclusively, while Sony alone acclimated Anamnesis Stick; about as of January 2010, all three abutment SD.

Some prosumer and able agenda camera models abide to action CompactFlash, either on a additional agenda aperture or as the alone storage, as they action abundant college capacities and faster alteration speeds and historically offered a bigger price/capacity arrangement as well.

Secure Agenda anamnesis cards can be acclimated in Sony XDCAM EX camcorders via the MEAD-SD01 adapter.45

Although abounding claimed computers board SD cards as an abetting accumulator accessory through a congenital aperture or a USB adaptor, SD cards cannot be acclimated as the primary harder deejay through the onboard ATA ambassador because none of the SD agenda variants supports ATA signalling. This use requires a abstracted SD ambassador chip46 or a SD-to-CompactFlash converter. However, on computers that abutment bootstrapping from a USB interface, an SD agenda in a USB adaptor can be the primary harder disk, provided it contains an operating arrangement that supports USB admission already the bootstrap is complete.

edit Embedded systems

This absorber (daughterboard) gives Arduino prototyping microprocessors admission to SD cards acquainted into the socket.

In 2008, the SDA defined Embedded SD, "leveraging acclaimed SD standards" to accredit non-removable SD-style accessories on printed ambit boards.47 SanDisk provides such anamnesis apparatus beneath the iNAND brand.48

Most avant-garde microcontrollers accept congenital SPI argumentation that can interface to a SD agenda operating in its SPI mode, accouterment non-volatile storage. Even if a microcontroller lacks the SPI feature, the affection can be emulated by bit banging. For example, a home-brew drudge combines additional General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins of the processor of the Linksys WRT54G router with MMC abutment cipher from the Linux kernel.49 This address can accomplish throughput of up to 1.6 Mbit/s.
