Difference between Micro SD and SD cards?
I want to get some SD memory cards for my point and shoot camera, for when
my other SD cards got full when I was away from home. Additionally, I want a spare *Micro* SD card for my phone. Are Micro SD and SD cards identical except for size or are there significant differences? Am I more likely to hit problems like reliability if I use a Micro SD card inside an adaptor? Are Micro SD cards noticeably slower than SD cards of the same price? |

Are Micro SD and SD cards identical except for size Yes, but there is more than one type of them. or are there significant differences? There are significant differences within just SD cards. Am I more likely to hit problems like reliability if I use a Micro SD card inside an adaptor? Yes, that can be a problem. Are Micro SD cards noticeably slower than SD cards of the same price? Nope. |

Micro SD is smaller--but you can buy an adaptor that will hold a Micro SD and fit into a standard SD slot (thus allowing you to use the Micro SD in both types of devices). Check eBay for prices for USB Micro SD or similar. They are getting very low in price (under $10 for 4gb). |

Otherwise, Micro SD's usually come with a Micro SD to SD adaptor card that lets you use them as SD cards also. So as such, I'd say just buy the Micro SD's and use them as SD's when needed.

Supply and demand, more people buy standard SD than Micro SD by far. |

Quite a few dont bother with full sized SDs anymore. Otherwise, Micro SD's usually come with a Micro SD to SD adaptor card that lets you use them as SD cards also. So as such, I'd say just buy the Micro SD's and use them as SD's when needed. I go the other way, essentially because nothing I have uses micro SDs, the cellphone, an N95 8GB has it built in and doesnt take any card, and buying SDs removes one potential hassle with the adapter. They arent that common anymore tho. |
