'''SmartMedia''' is a form of [[flash memory]] card frequently used in [[digital camera]]s in the early 2000s.  The format was developed by Toshiba, and the package was a thin plastic rectangle 45x37mm, with a corner cutoff for orientation. One side carried a surface contact area, and a marked circle where a metallic sticker could be placed for write protection. Capacities ranged from 512kb to 128Mb, and data transfer was limited to a rate of 2MB/s - small and slow by today's standards.  The cards are no longer in production.
