You didn't state the brand/model laptop. There are two common SD cards and a variation:
1) The original SD which has been around for several years and the maximum capacity is 2GB 2) The new SDHC card are High Capacity cards and I believe their maximum capacity is 32GB 3) The microSD/SDHC card is a very small card that is used mostly in devices like cell phones and MP3 players a) Most microSD/SDHC cards come with a standard size SD/SDHC adapter that allow you to use the micro's in standard card reader slots b) These little cards can be fragile. I've already received on in the mail and it was snapped in transit. Because of the small size you should take care in placing them into reader slots If you just purchased a new laptop it is very likely SDHC compatible and will be backward compatible with SD cards. Most manufacturer's include the documentation right on the computer's hard drive. Check for a docs folder or similar on the hard drive of the laptop. The manufacturer's website should have the specs posted as well. Check there. The advantage to SD/SDHC cards is they are small, have a large capacity and are portable to other devices. I use them for portable digital audio recording and digital cameras. John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joel N. Fischoff Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 7:28 To: [email protected] Subject: [NF] Anyone know anything about SD cards/card readers? Heya, Somewhat recently, I got a new laptop computer. This computer includes an SD reader... but I can't find specs for it. Does anyone know where I can look for them? I wanted to find out what kinds of SD cards (i.e. up to what size) I can use with it. That aside, I've never really used SD cards before in a computer. Can anyone tell me what they think might be the advantages and disadvantages of using them are?
