How Much Video Can a 2GB SD Memory Card Hold?
With computing technology becoming smaller and smaller, floppy disks and even CDs are starting to be replaced by thumb drives, flash drives and memory cards. Many people use these forms of storage to transfer photos from a camera to a computer, or movies from a desktop to a laptop. Depending on the file size and file type, a 2GB memory card can hold a lot of video.
