A Secure Digital (SD) card is usually used to store photographs on digital cameras, but you can also use one to store music and video files. Depending on the type, an SD card can hold between two gigabytes and two terabytes of data. Although the card's small size makes it extremely portable, that portability increases the likelihood that you will lose the card. You can transfer files from an SD card to a CD or DVD for long-term storage, or to give the files to another person.
