Use this tag for questions regarding SD card operation.

Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format. This format is developed by the SD Card Association for use in portable devices. Many 3D printer boards have an SD card interface (micro SD or SD) for removable storage of 3D printer code (G-code) files. The printer controller allows fir reading the SD card and can print these files directly from the card.
