Which kind of SD card do I need?

A secured digital (SD) card is a data storage tool that you can conveniently insert and remove from your devices. SD memory cards come in multiple sizes and storage quantities. SD cards contain up to 1TB of memory or more, while mini SD cards provide the same great storage technology in a physically smaller package.

There are also several speed classes, which describe how quickly SD cards can save data. If you’re planning to work with large files, such as high-quality video, you probably want to invest in a Class 10 SD card or an ultra high speed (UHS) option.
