SmartMedia is a form of flash memory card frequently used in digital cameras in the early 2000s. The format was developed by Toshiba. The package was a thin (about a third of a millimetre thick) 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.
