miniSD

Small memory card

MiniSD is a small flash memory card format, roughly half the size of a standard SD card.

Introduced in 2003 for mobile phones and portable devices, miniSD cards could fit into full-size SD slots using an adapter.

The format was largely superseded by the even smaller microSD card and is now rarely used.
