MiniSD cards are small memory cards often used in portable devices such as cell phones, cameras and MP3 players. MiniSD cards are primarily used to increase the storage capacity of these devices or to transfer data from one place to another. Using your computer's SD card slot, you will be able to access all of the files on the miniSD card. If your computer does not have an SD card slot, you will need to use an inexpensive SD card reader.
