The first SD cards were co-developed by Panasonic, Toshiba, and SanDisk in Aug 1999 as an improvement over MMC (MultimediaCards). The 3 companies later formed SD-3C, a company that now enforces and licenses intellectual property rights that are associated with SD cards.<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31441\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/secure-digital-card.jpg\" alt=\"secure digital (sd) card\" width=\"800\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/secure-digital-card.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/secure-digital-card-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/secure-digital-card-500x249.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cleverfiles.com\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/secure-digital-card-768x382.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Even though SD cards are popularly used on cameras and tablets, they can also be used on PCs to save data. SD cards are available in memory capacities of 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 512GB. Other higher storage capacity cards are under development and SD-3C has stated that there is a possibility of a discovery of a 1TB SD card.<\/p>\r\n<p>As of 2016, Secure Digital cards are the most commonly used memory storage devices on most modern camera. Some of the Camera manufacturing companies that use SD cards includes: Casio, Canon, Kodak, Nikon, Pentax, Ricoh, Sony, Samsung, Fujifilm, Olympus, Leica, Panasonic and many others. Modern laptops also come with an SD card slot that can be used to read and write data on a Secure Digital card.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"secure_digital_card_data_recovery_software\"><\/span><b>Secure Digital Card Data Recovery Software<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Users of Secure Digital cards are often disturbed by problematic issues of data loss.
