Is there a difference between an sd card and a mmc card? Some sites have the cards as the same thing.Thank you

Question

Mmc stands for multi-media card. I need one for my cell phone.

Answer 1

Although one is technically "based on" the other, you pretty much want to buy the one that your device is designed for. Here is the flash memory (SD, MMC, Sony MS, etc) page at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=68

Answer 2

Secure Digital(SD) cards are based on the older Multi Media Card (MMC). They are lightly thicker than the MMC cards. In MOST cases, MMC cards can be read by SD card slots. SD cards will not fit into thinner MMC card slots. However, special adapters are available to do this.



SD cards have a much higher transfer rates than MMC cards, but this changing with advances in technology.



Hope this helps.

SD is in quite some circumstances for a digicam and a micro sd is in quite some circumstances for a cellular telephone. Its a tiny version of an sd card. you could also get an micro sd adapter it really is the size of an sd card that you position the micro sd in to print them reason maximum printers wont take micro sds.
