Memory cards — SD & microSD for photo and video | Motivs.lv
In the Memory Cards category you'll find SD, microSD and specialty cards for cameras, smartphones, drones and dash cams. Cards vary by capacity and speed class to suit photography, Full HD or 4K video and app performance.
Choose a card based on your device's requirements — speed class and capacity matter — and use adapters when needed; browse options to find the right balance of speed, size and durability.
Memory cards include a range of formats and technical options: standard SD, microSD, miniSD and specialized cards for professional equipment. Available capacities span from a few gigabytes to hundreds of gigabytes and beyond, while speed ratings control how fast data can be written to and read from the card.
Common use cases: smartphones and tablets (media and apps), consumer and professional cameras (high-resolution photos, burst shooting and 4K video), drones and action cameras (high sustained write speeds), dash cams and game consoles. For backups and transfers, high read speeds make moving large files faster.
Key characteristics to consider are speed classes (Class 10, UHS-I/UHS-II, U1/U3), Video Speed Class (V30, V60, etc.) and app performance ratings (A1, A2) for mobile applications. Recording 4K video typically requires cards rated U3 or V30+ with sufficient sustained write speed. microSD cards often come with SD adapters for compatibility with devices that accept full-size SD cards; choose a reliable adapter to avoid connection issues.
Many cards offer enhanced durability features: water resistance, shock resistance, X-ray tolerance and a wide operating temperature range, making them suitable for travel and outdoor use. Nonetheless, no card is indestructible — regular backups are recommended to protect important photos and videos.
How to choose the right card: check your device’s specifications for supported card types and maximum capacity, select the appropriate speed class based on intended use, compare durability features if you plan to use the card outdoors, and, when using microSD, ensure adapter quality for SD slots. Format the card in the device you’ll use and keep backups of irreplaceable files.
