SD and Micro SD

Is it safe to use a micro SD card with an SD adaptor in an SD slot? Any
problems with corruption of data or anything like that? The card in
question is a Kingston 1Gb micro SD with adaptor.
thanks

Depends on the quality of the adapter and card, of course, but I have used a
spare 1g miniSD in a SD card adaptor quite a lot without any issue. It is
used a backup disc on a laptop's SD card slot, used multiple times daily for
months, no issue.

The card is a very tight fit in the adaptor, something that you might want
to check on - the sd card mechanism will do little to hold the micro sd card
in the adapter itself, so make sure it can't be accidently lost.

Re: SD and Micro SD

Hello,

I've done this with my Dell x51v with no problems at all (using a
SanDisk card). Given the rather simplistic electronics of the MinSD
adapter, I would assume that it should work with most if not all
devices. I also use it in a PCMCIA adapter on my laptop as well with
no problems.

Thankyou very much. Yes the micro SD is a very tight fit in the adaptor, so
should be okay then.

Thankyou. The card works in my camera, but I am very new to PDA stuff so
was not sure it would be an issue or not.

Re: SD and Micro SD

Use the micros sd card in my Motorola RAZR phone with my card reader on my
PC with no problems.

I did read somewhere the reason they put the micro sd card on my phone
behind the battery was to make it inconvenient to remove. Reason for this is
the micro sd is not designed for lots of insert/remove cycles. Don't know
the validity of that, bur sort of makes sense.

Yes the micros are a little bit small and flimsy. Did they have to make
them so small? :-)
