You can buy an SSD from any number of different manufacturers, but Sony effectively had a monopoly on Memory Cards, so yeah, there pressures on them to reduce the price were very low.
I found a $7 256GB micro sd card on eBay. I was certain that it was fake but formatted to FAT32 it works on almost all my devices that need an SD card. This is the future, 256GB for $7 I love it!
BTW, the SD Cards use a proprietary communication protocol to get data to and from the flash memory. BUT, the can also use a free-to-use SPI communication interface to transmit/receive data (albeit with a slower speed).
I worked in tech retail for several years before having the first customer needing a mini SD card. She, of course, had no idea what she needed, so looking at the shot I said, well, it can't fit a regular SD card; the only other size is micro. That's how I learned there had once been a size in between.
yeah I remember seeing those around '08-'09 when DS flash cards were really catching on. they were hard to come by back then, and always more expensive than 4GB SDHCs, but were desirable because of how those flash cards wouldn't support SDHC. they weren't worth the extra money.
This was tricky because there were some mobile devices and card readers that didn't/don't support SDHC, so the 4GB non-SDHC SD cards were highly desirable in these cases.

Fun fact: Ever wondered why the D in SD looks like a Disc? Well Toshiba originally designed that logo for a Optical Disc Format called "Super Density Disc" that was supposed to supersede the Compact Disc. Problem was, the licence-holders of the Compact Disc (Sony and Philips) were also working on a successor to the CD called Multimedia Compact Disc, which would have resulted in another format war between the SD-Disc (backed by Toshiba and seven other companies) and the MMCD (backed by Sony and Philips). The Computing Industry (led by IBM, Apple, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft) - not wanting to pick sides in the ensuing format war and end up on the wrong one - put pressure on these companies to come to an agreement on which format to use. Sony, Philips, Toshiba and the rest caved and came up with a compromise between the two formats they were developing separately. and that's how the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) was born. And since the SD-Disc was scrapped in favour of the DVD, Toshiba now had a useless logo just sitting around, but instead of being wasteful about it, they reused it for the Secure Digital format and the rest is history.

+iLuZiioNz Tutorials That actually explains it for me. I was always wondering what the opening in the circle meant.

I just new, unlike processors :( , bigger numbers were supposed to be better. So Just went for the biggest possible set of numbers in my price range and hoped it would work in the intended device.
FYI the "number in the circle" (speed class) tells you the guaranteed minimum write speed, not maximum. Most faster cards are speed class 10, but can read / write much faster. Also, there were briefly 4 GB SD cards (as in not SDHC) before they switched to SDHC, though these are very rare.
SDHC Cards even have 8GB capacities(my 7 year old Panasonic Video Camera has this size SD Card in it) and gives me up to 12 hours of recording time and it can take me up to a full 2 weeks or more to fill the entire 8GB especially if my Videos are only about 4 minuyes long but when I record multiple videos of 9 minutes or even 11 minutes duration th3 card fills up much quicker

That joke reminded me of a google translate I once recieved saying "can I put an SD card into my friend", my thought "ehh, you can, but don't count on him being a friend anymore".

I liked the video Linus, I don't like the new way ads are talked about. I understand if they pay for the time but it's like a full minute (or more) of it that I have to skip to get to the end of the video (Yes, I like watching videos entirely). I personally don't mind ads as I know they're a way of income, just hate it when they straight up cut what you're watching without a break (hello Twitch streams) or that take so long like these. I skip because I'm not buying, but if I were to buy anything and wanted to know more about the product, going to the page and getting information would be enough, so you could explain all that in 30 seconds or less (Specially in techquickie videos!). Just a suggestion :D TL;DR: I don't mind ads, they're just too long lately.
Actually the basic SD can hold up to 4 GB. For some reason the 4 GB cards were very rare. Transcend had one: TS4GSDC. For practical purposes the 2 GB limit is the correct one.
Okaro X Yes that is true the original SD cards used fat16 so the max should be 4gb. I think they change it to 2 for most SD cards because at the time some phones have problems opening files if you have a 4gb card inside, it would take longer than what it usually take
Tensile system is Not the issue. You can put any file system on the card. I tried FAT32 on my old Ixus 30 and it worked even though the camera formatted to FAT16. Of course different devices could work differently. Also the max for FAT16 is 2 GB if I recall correctly
Pssshhhtt, I remember when MP3 players could only hold 8-10 songs; if you wanted to double that to about 20, you had to buy a proprietary memory card that was only a tad bit under the cost of buying another player. Anybody else remember the brand RIO ?
It was powered by AA batteries, so it needed the extra module because the player itself was too small to contain such a battery (even though it was about twice as big as a regular, modern USB stick.
Wow this is the first Fast As Possible in a long time that didn't completely skip over something major or even spread wrong information. Very impressed with your guys' regained ability to explain the most basic things correctly.

i remember when they had Memory stick and memory stick pro... i hate sony for that... they killed them selves when they did that... it annoyed so may people
so... at least its not as bad as it used to be. If you bought one of Sony's Digital cameras in the early 2000's like i diid. What they did was, Sony Had Memory stick which was one length. Then they discontinued that memory stick length so if you had a digital camera you couldn't buy more cards because those cameras were no longer supported regardless that they were released 2 years ago.... fuck you sony!!!! you fucking cut us all off when you had some really good cameras but fucked us over with the memory cards. they are finally coming back since the new alpha camera.... but that pissed me off so much. I was only able to take 4-5 images before the card filled up and when i started getting cards they disappeared and i was only able to buy the longer cards and the Pro's did not work... only the shot memory stick worked and they discontinued them AFTER 2 FUCKING YEARS
I recently used an old Compact Flash, just to run it, prevent bit rot. And plugging it in felt so satisfying. I really like that format. Wish it was still popular in terms of support, and used in as a way of having like 20 times the capacity of an micro sd card. Or a raid 0 type card where you plug in multiple micro sd cards. I know that technology is there, CF is so unpopular that the ones I found I think were limited to 32GB.
I remmeber our first digital camera using a CF card. Luckily our computer back then had a multi card reader. But now we all use SD cards on some level.
I remember buying a 16 Megabyte SD card in 2002 for like 30 dollars at A CVS in Haverhill Massachusetts for my "brand new" 2 Megapixel digital camera I got for my 13th birthday. I was on my way to New Hampshire Motor Speedway to see my first Nascar race. Ward Burton won. Ah nostalgia.
Products will list the highest card they can be fairly certain is compatible with their product. The 3DS product line advertises 32GB, I think. I am certain I have read it being tested with 128 and 256GB cards. If I have read of it working with 128GB cards multiple times. One of the biggest hurdles seems to be formatting the cards. The 3DS will only take a very specific format. I have never had issues with formatting to it using Windows. They don't recommend it. All the product sites that I have looked at recommend using a specific tool dedicated to formatting the card for best results. --- It was a informative history video. Brought back a lot of nostalgia.
I'm amazed you guys didn't clarify the biggest change to SD cards in at least a year: UHS 3 cards have a 2nd row of pins and seem to only be somewhat backwards compatible. I've found fairly little information on compatibility and how to tell the difference.
I wouldn't say SD is the completely universal standard. Compact Flash is still around and is widely used in mainly high-end cameras as it's still the better choice as far as performance is concerned. There's also the newer XQD format which unfortunately, whilst being technically superior to both SD and CF, is struggling to be supported by anything aside from the last few models in Nikon's flagship series (D4, D5). Basically, yes SD is the de-facto standard for sure on the consumer market for almost any portable device but on the high-end and professional market, at least as far as photography is concerned, Compact Flash still has a pretty strong presence which I'm sure you're well aware of, Linus, considering you already made the video on CFast!
+Timmy Fox CF-Cards are a huge pain in a layout. CF-Carde use a IDE / ISA like interface. SD-Cards in SPI-Mode use an easy Interface starting with 400kHz. Often found as USART Interface in most micro-controllers. CF(+)-Card's are much more versatile (PC Card ATA I/O Mode, PC Card ATA Memory Mode, True IDE Mode) but use an old IDE standard (in True IDE UDMA Mode 4). SD-Card's are for use with a modern USART communication and it's possible to put a SD-Card on a breadboard. With a CF-Card you'll start with 2 Layers and complex routing. CF-Card's going to lose against SD-Cards as they are getting faster with an easy and inexpensive serial interface.
+losttownstreet That's not really what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that in high-end cameras from both Nikon and Canon, CF cards are used instead of SD for a variety of reasons. SD is improving significantly all the time but still has yet to catch up with CF in certain areas, performance for example.
I found one of our old camera cards the other day, some proprietary card used in an olympus camera or something. I don't even think I could fine a reader for that thing. I am so happy for industry standards like SD and micro usb.... although usb type c is coming! (not complaining, but i foresee compatibility headaches)
I have $50 bucks and a 1/4 size of a backyard compared to your backyard with grass that high. I still think its a steal of a deal! I laughed so hard at $50 price and how your facial response.
The only thing you really got wrong was the backwards compatibility part. It has nothing to do with the hardware in the card reader. It's all about driver support. I remember learning about this when my ancient Mp3 player wouldn't read SDXC cards until i flashed a third party firmware onto it. Another minor thing was about EXFAT. Any operating system (including older ones like Windows XP) can utilize it as long as they paid royalties to Microsoft. I believe this is the main reason why IOS devices still don't have SD card readers while Android ones do. Google paid the EXFAT royalties while Apple didn't.
CF cards still very alive in the professional market for video and photo. SSDs now taking hold in the high res video industry but CF are still very alive and still plenty fast.
*Hardware for 2D and 3D design As Fast As Possible* I think you guys talked about PC hardware useful for video capture and or editing a little while back (understandable why you'd focus on that). Would be interesting to hear your take on the ideal setup for someone who does 2D and 3D asset production, whom may have spent more money on their rig than they probably needed to, and is curious to see just how much buyer remorse they should feel about having bought a Titan X without really knowing for certain if the 12GB of VRAM would have that much more of an impact on Photoshop performance among other programs like Illustrator, ZBrush, 3DSMax and XNormal. And was largely thinking about all the sweet frames, anti-aliasing and post-filtering I'd get while gaming. + The apparent out of the box VR compatibility and optimization with SLI for VR (2 way = 1 graphics card per eye)
SDHC and SDXC are almost the same spec and mostly interchangeable. The difference is the filesystem - XC calls for exFAT and only applies to 64GB+ cards, while HC calls for FAT32 and only applies to 2GB-32GB cards. While it is technically within spec for a device to be extremely picky with filesystems, I've never actually had to deal with a device that refused to accept a technically out-of-spec filesystem setup. In practice, "XC" support really means exFAT support; and non-XC devices (most notably, Nintendo 3DS handhelds) will accept a FAT32-formatted XC card just fine. Windows' own formatting utilities will no longer allow you to format large FAT32 partitions (large being >32GB) but this is less a technical limitation (FAT32 partitions can be up to 2TB) and moreso has to do with Microsoft wanting you to use exFAT instead (which they make patent license royalties from).
I still have the mid 2000's 512Mb SD Card. Although my mid 2000's camera was okay with modern 8Gb Micro-SD HC card with SD adapter. (4000 pictures with medium quality!)
"Try not to drop your micro SD card between your couch cushions." I recently dropped my phone and when I tried to sandwich the battery, cover, and the rest of the phone back together, I didn't notice that the micro SD was ejected from the fall and I snapped the card in half. So yeah, there are even worse things that can happen to those things.
Forgot about the whole MMC thingy... SD was a addon on MMC. MMC came quite a bit earlier and was initially a lot cheaper. There was one more thing. The MMC was a bit narrower than the SD. In a SD card they could back in the day fit one chip at both side of the breadbord inside the casing. IN MMC they could fit in just one. So basically geting twice the capacity. Really SD is a MMC that is thicker and have a smal 2 pin addon. There was also the SecureMMC that was basically a competitor to SD, but using software in steed of the two additional pins. The real anying part is when they start making the smaler chips MMC and mini-SD is very close in size, but not the exact same. Non of them become really that successful. Aditionally it was really the SDIO that was the music format with the secure part.. SD lack
The big nag about the SD card standard is that the specification for readers is not forward compatible, I think it happens because the logic to decypher the nand resides in the reader instead of the card :( Something akind of the XD card specification which was only an encapsulated nand which was platform agnostic.

I skip because I'm not buying, but if I were to buy anything and wanted to know more about the product, going to the page and getting information would be enough, so you could explain all that in 30 seconds or less (Specially in techquickie videos!). Just a suggestion :D
TL;DR: I don't mind ads, they're just too long lately.
it was at the end, wtf are you complaining about?
GaLoS That is not the end of the video. I'm complaining about having to skip 1+ minute of ad every video now.
I was really hoping this would explain how SD cards work :(
Well you was wrong
Actually the basic SD can hold up to 4 GB. For some reason the 4 GB cards were very rare. Transcend had one: TS4GSDC. For practical purposes the 2 GB limit is the correct one.
Okaro X Yes that is true the original SD cards used fat16 so the max should be 4gb.
I think they change it to 2 for most SD cards because at the time some phones have problems opening files if you have a 4gb card inside, it would take longer than what it usually take
Tensile system is Not the issue. You can put any file system on the card. I tried FAT32 on my old Ixus 30 and it worked even though the camera formatted to FAT16. Of course different devices could work differently. Also the max for FAT16 is 2 GB if I recall correctly
Pssshhhtt, I remember when MP3 players could only hold 8-10 songs; if you wanted to double that to about 20, you had to buy a proprietary memory card that was only a tad bit under the cost of buying another player. Anybody else remember the brand RIO ?
yes I had the first rio lols soo retro now
+HalfBreedMix Nowadays standard SDcard 8Gb can handle a hundred songs, you compared that with old thing. But I can't remember when I last use that
+HalfBreedMix I unfortunately lost my 128MB MP3 player 2 years ago. I used it as a flash drive for years since I didn't think listening to
IkBenBenG LOL, an external battery module ? Wow, just goes to show how far Li-ion batteries have come.
It was powered by AA batteries, so it needed the extra module because the player itself was too small to contain such a battery (even though it was about twice as big as a regular, modern USB stick.
Wow this is the first Fast As Possible in a long time that didn't completely skip over something major or even spread wrong information. Very impressed with your guys' regained ability to explain the most basic things correctly.
but ... how they work? O.o

Hi young Linus
Thank you! I always wondered what does all those letters meant, and now thanks to you I know about what SDXC means!
Linus just couldn't keep his shit together at the end there.

Sony need to be burnt for their one use only SD card, ex ps vita and psp. Fucking evil!
I would say "propietry" but I can't spell it and for some reason spell check can't either
Proprietary?
+TinchoX property?

My old PSP used the memory stick but my PSP GO uses a normal SD card I think
+marc greyham just get an adaptor dude.. CR5400 i think mine has 2 16Gb micro SD cards in it... PSP still great...
Meanwhile, Sony made a card only compatible with the vita......
I would have bought a Vita TV if it were not for that
Lance Lindle Lee luckily Nintendo didnt do the same thing when they easily could have.

I remember we had a digital camera at my school that recorded straight to a floppy disk. Blew my mind when I saw it.

I love them ahah :)
“Was that a getting something stuck in your butt joke?”
“SPEAKING OF WHICH Dollar Shave Club...”
Oh dear.
i remember when they had Memory stick and memory stick pro... i hate sony for that... they killed them selves when they did that... it annoyed so may people
And they still use their proprietary memory cards for the PS Vita...
so... at least its not as bad as it used to be. If you bought one of Sony's Digital cameras in the early 2000's like i diid. What they did was, Sony Had Memory stick which was one length. Then they discontinued that memory stick length so if you had a digital camera you couldn't buy more cards because those cameras were no longer supported regardless that they were released 2 years ago....
fuck you sony!!!! you fucking cut us all off when you had some really good cameras but fucked us over with the memory cards. they are finally coming back since the new alpha camera.... but that pissed me off so much. I was only able to take 4-5 images before the card filled up and when i started getting cards they disappeared and i was only able to buy the longer cards and the Pro's did not work... only the shot memory stick worked and they discontinued them AFTER 2 FUCKING YEARS
Currently its $85 for a 64gb PS Vita memory card, and you can find 64gb MicroSD cards for $15. Sony and their overpriced shit...
Xplosio Lee ohhh yeah... they have been like that since the beginning. They have always had a bigger margin
I have a 128GB SD card it's insane now how far technology has come
+Ryan Scherbluk I don't really trust those huge capacity SD cards, so much data on a so tiny and fragile card!

Np mate
I recently used an old Compact Flash, just to run it, prevent bit rot. And plugging it in felt so satisfying. I really like that format. Wish it was still popular in terms of support, and used in as a way of having like 20 times the capacity of an micro sd card. Or a raid 0 type card where you plug in multiple micro sd cards. I know that technology is there, CF is so unpopular that the ones I found I think were limited to 32GB.
your AFAP series is great
this video was needed for a long time
I remmeber our first digital camera using a CF card. Luckily our computer back then had a multi card reader. But now we all use SD cards on some level.

I remember buying a 16 Megabyte SD card in 2002 for like 30 dollars at A CVS in Haverhill Massachusetts for my "brand new" 2 Megapixel digital camera I got for my 13th birthday. I was on my way to New Hampshire Motor Speedway to see my first Nascar race. Ward Burton won. Ah nostalgia.
That circle you said the number is in is actually a C. It stands for "class 4" class 10 etc

you can buy me one lol
+Greyghostvol1 yeah totally
Interesting lession Dr.Tech :-)
Products will list the highest card they can be fairly certain is compatible with their product. The 3DS product line advertises 32GB, I think. I am certain I have read it being tested with 128 and 256GB cards. If I have read of it working with 128GB cards multiple times.
One of the biggest hurdles seems to be formatting the cards. The 3DS will only take a very specific format. I have never had issues with formatting to it using Windows. They don't recommend it. All the product sites that I have looked at recommend using a specific tool dedicated to formatting the card for best results.

It was a informative history video. Brought back a lot of nostalgia.
I'm amazed you guys didn't clarify the biggest change to SD cards in at least a year: UHS 3 cards have a 2nd row of pins and seem to only be somewhat backwards compatible. I've found fairly little information on compatibility and how to tell the difference.
I don't consider the format war 'over'. CF and XQD are still useful if you need more speed.
I wouldn't say SD is the completely universal standard. Compact Flash is still around and is widely used in mainly high-end cameras as it's still the better choice as far as performance is concerned.
There's also the newer XQD format which unfortunately, whilst being technically superior to both SD and CF, is struggling to be supported by anything aside from the last few models in Nikon's flagship series (D4, D5).
Basically, yes SD is the de-facto standard for sure on the consumer market for almost any portable device but on the high-end and professional market, at least as far as photography is concerned, Compact Flash still has a pretty strong presence which I'm sure you're well aware of, Linus, considering you already made the video on CFast!

CF-Cards are a huge pain in a layout. CF-Carde use a IDE / ISA like interface. SD-Cards in SPI-Mode use an easy Interface starting with 400kHz. Often found as USART Interface in most micro-controllers.
CF(+)-Card's are much more versatile (PC Card ATA I/O Mode, PC Card ATA Memory Mode, True IDE Mode) but use an old IDE standard (in True IDE UDMA Mode 4).
SD-Card's are for use with a modern USART communication and it's possible to put a SD-Card on a breadboard. With a CF-Card you'll start with 2 Layers and complex routing.
CF-Card's going to lose against SD-Cards as they are getting faster with an easy and inexpensive serial interface.
+losttownstreet That's not really what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that in high-end cameras from both Nikon and Canon, CF cards are used instead of SD for a variety of reasons. SD is improving significantly all the time but still has yet to catch up with CF in certain areas, performance for example.
I found one of our old camera cards the other day, some proprietary card used in an olympus camera or something. I don't even think I could fine a reader for that thing. I am so happy for industry standards like SD and micro usb.... although usb type c is coming! (not complaining, but i foresee compatibility headaches)
Now in 2020 you can get a 128 sd for like $25, prices are REALLY affordable now
Note that you can format an SDXC in FAT32, as you can any big capacity disc as well. Not with Windows format tool, but nonetheless.
I have $50 bucks and a 1/4 size of a backyard compared to your backyard with grass that high. I still think its a steal of a deal! I laughed so hard at $50 price and how your facial response.
The only thing you really got wrong was the backwards compatibility part. It has nothing to do with the hardware in the card reader. It's all about driver support. I remember learning about this when my ancient Mp3 player wouldn't read SDXC cards until i flashed a third party firmware onto it.
Another minor thing was about EXFAT. Any operating system (including older ones like Windows XP) can utilize it as long as they paid royalties to Microsoft. I believe this is the main reason why IOS devices still don't have SD card readers while Android ones do. Google paid the EXFAT royalties while Apple didn't.
This guy should start a channel about tech.
CF cards still very alive in the professional market for video and photo. SSDs now taking hold in the high res video industry but CF are still very alive and still plenty fast.
*Hardware for 2D and 3D design As Fast As Possible*
I think you guys talked about PC hardware useful for video capture and or editing a little while back (understandable why you'd focus on that).
Would be interesting to hear your take on the ideal setup for someone who does 2D and 3D asset production, whom may have spent more money on their rig than they probably needed to, and is curious to see just how much buyer remorse they should feel about having bought a Titan X without really knowing for certain if the 12GB of VRAM would have that much more of an impact on Photoshop performance among other programs like Illustrator, ZBrush, 3DSMax and XNormal. And was largely thinking about all the sweet frames, anti-aliasing and post-filtering I'd get while gaming.
+ The apparent out of the box VR compatibility and optimization with SLI for VR (2 way = 1 graphics card per eye)
SDHC and SDXC are almost the same spec and mostly interchangeable. The difference is the filesystem - XC calls for exFAT and only applies to 64GB+ cards, while HC calls for FAT32 and only applies to 2GB-32GB cards. While it is technically within spec for a device to be extremely picky with filesystems, I've never actually had to deal with a device that refused to accept a technically out-of-spec filesystem setup. In practice, "XC" support really means exFAT support; and non-XC devices (most notably, Nintendo 3DS handhelds) will accept a FAT32-formatted XC card just fine.
Windows' own formatting utilities will no longer allow you to format large FAT32 partitions (large being >32GB) but this is less a technical limitation (FAT32 partitions can be up to 2TB) and moreso has to do with Microsoft wanting you to use exFAT instead (which they make patent license royalties from).

Truly an amazing time to be alive picked up a 512GB microSD for my Switch paying $60
I still have the mid 2000's 512Mb SD Card. Although my mid 2000's camera was okay with modern 8Gb Micro-SD HC card with SD adapter. (4000 pictures with medium quality!)
Why do I watch these even though I know full well what an SD card is? Get your hooks out of me Linus!
"Try not to drop your micro SD card between your couch cushions."
I recently dropped my phone and when I tried to sandwich the battery, cover, and the rest of the phone back together, I didn't notice that the micro SD was ejected from the fall and I snapped the card in half. So yeah, there are even worse things that can happen to those things.
+Ganaram Inukshuk Was it a 2TB SD card? Oh... THEN IT'S WORTHLESSS! -Rich nerd probably
I feel your pain, but this is the case where sometimes it's nice having a phone that doesn't come apart... (iPhone)
Forgot about the whole MMC thingy...
SD was a addon on MMC. MMC came quite a bit earlier and was initially a lot cheaper.
There was one more thing. The MMC was a bit narrower than the SD. In a SD card they could back in the day fit one chip at both side of the breadbord inside the casing. IN MMC they could fit in just one. So basically geting twice the capacity.
Really SD is a MMC that is thicker and have a smal 2 pin addon.
There was also the SecureMMC that was basically a competitor to SD, but using software in steed of the two additional pins.
The real anying part is when they start making the smaler chips MMC and mini-SD is very close in size, but not the exact same. Non of them become really that successful.
Aditionally it was really the SDIO that was the music format with the secure part.. SD lack
Instructions unclear. Micro SD card stuck in butt.
4:15 Linus's teleprompter is officially funnier than he is.
The big nag about the SD card standard is that the specification for readers is not forward compatible, I think it happens because the logic to decypher the nand resides in the reader instead of the card :( Something akind of the XD card specification which was only an encapsulated nand which was platform agnostic.
