MicroSD (Micro Secure Digital) is a popular format for flash memory cards. Such cards are most commonly used in digital cameras, mobiles phones, portable music players, personal digital assistants, and other hand-held devices. It is a non-volatile storage media, which does not require power to maintain the stored information in flash chip. You can store different types of pictures, songs, videos, graphic files, and other multimedia files on MicroSD memory card.
