"TF cards" ?

Either I don't know the term or I'm undercaffeinated and my memory hasn't booted properly yet, either way please take pity on me and explain?

Sure. Albeit this might be my age showing up when using old terms.

Quoting wikipedia: "The microSD removable miniaturized Secure Digital flash memory cards were originally named T-Flash or TF, abbreviations of TransFlash. TransFlash and microSD cards are functionally identical allowing either to operate in devices made for the other."

MicroSD is quite a long word so plenty of time is simple mentioned as TF.

Thank you.
