The History of the Secure Digital Memory Card

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Leo Schwartz

With the advent of the digital age, it is only necessary that all the photographs and video recordings taken for professional or personal use have to be stored in a virtual bin large enough to hold all the bits and pieces together. In 1999, three major electronic companies, namely SanDisk, Panasonic, and Toshiba, made an agreement to standardize the storage mechanism of portable devices. This move was done in response to Sony's release of the memory stick that had a 4MB capacity, a considerably significant storage allocation a decade ago.

By the year 2000, the pieces were starting to fall into place with regard to the card's development. Actually, SD was not supposed to come out in its chip-like format the way it is known today globally. It was initially formatted to look similar to an optical disc. That is why there is an impression of an optical disc on the "D" of the graphic design when one takes a look at the Secure Digital logo. It was a Consumer Electronics Show in that same year that pre-empted the companies to create an association that will promote the Sandisk secure digital memory card's release the following year.

It was in 2001 when the gadget finally made its breakthrough into the mainstream market. Though trial versions were already being distributed and sold in the first quarter of 2000, it was really in 2001 when things took off, where capacities of 32MB and 64MB cards were being sold, a far cry from the storage capabilities these memory cards can hold today.

The dimensions of a Secure Digital card are smaller compared to its memory stick counterpart and its MultiMediaCard (MMC) predecessor. They are normally found in devices such as up-to-date digital cameras, high-end cellular phones, and other sophisticated audio players. Secure Digital, or SD for short, were originally conceptualized with Digital Rights Management (DRM) and (SDMI) in mind due to the sudden explosion of piracy in the music industry. This move was due to the heightened stealing of the mp3 file format in hit singles that forced the SDMI forum to create means to protect digital music from being abused by pirates.

How standardized is the SD memory card? There are three main specifications tied to it, namely versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. It was controversial in the beginning because there was a non-disclosure agreement that stipulated how no open source drivers can be tied to it that resulted to a lot of flak from Linux and Apache users. In effect, this move was rescinded and users of free software drivers could operate these memory cards too.

Today, the ubiquity of the SD memory cards are becoming more noticeable especially with the continued rise of social networking sites that encourage the sharing of files, ranging from galleries of pictures, endless loops of video streams, to various media being shared all over the web. It is only fitting that one's memory card has the memory and specifications needed for the long haul of regular use.
