Memory card

A memory card or flash memory card is a solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device capable of storing digital contents.

These are mainly used with digital cameras, handheld and Mobile computers, mobile phones, music players, video game consoles, and other electronics.

They offer high re-record-ability, power-free storage, small form factor, and rugged environmental specifications. There are also non-solid-state memory cards that do not use flash memory, and there are different types of flash memory.

Many video game consoles have used proprietary solid-state memory cards to store data. In recent years read-only optical discs have replaced these memory cards in most current home console systems. However most portable gaming systems still rely on custom memory cartridges, due to their low power consumption, smaller physical size and reduced mechanical complexity.
