SD card

What can I write to the SD card?

Hello and welcome.

You can copy the same file types as you would to a USCB flash drive or a regular hard drive. Depending on the model of your Mac and the SD card type/brand/model, read/write speeds can vary.

Is there a particular file type you have in mind?

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm not very tech-savvy. My Mac storage is filling up, I think most of it is the photo's so I thought of downloading them to the sd card would. Thanks, again for your help.

No worries.

You could copy some to an SD card to save some space. However, it is recommended that you have an external hard drive to keep a Time machine or other backup of your data. If your internal drive is filling up, it may be best to get an external to move your Photos Library to, then use a second to backup the internal and that external to. All drive types will fail at some point, and removable flash storage drives can somewhat be more susceptible.

Also, depending on your setup, you may try using iCloud Photos as a way to free up some storage space.
