It's so small! One question, does the name TransFlash always mean microSD, or is it a technology available to any flash card maker? JayKeaton 13:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am officialy in love with MicroSD technology. The people who found a way to store 2GB on a fingernail are geniouses. Lancelor 03:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly! The chip itself has always been much smaller than this. It's just the plastic housing on the larger cards that is so big. 20.133.0.14 13:47, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2GB MicroSD ???

This article states that as of May 2006 a 2GB MicroSD card is available. I can find no support for this. Can anyone confirm that a 2GB card is now available? Willy Arnold 23:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think its a mistake, but its generally difficult to prove the nonexistence of something. M0nkey 15:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It exist: "Card capacity up to 2GB" http://www.kingmaxdigi.com/product/MicroSD.htm 84.57.148.173 12:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No 2GB microSD

Edited article to correct the error.

I have a 2 gig micro sd card in my Verizon LG VX8300 right now. I'm listening to the one of my 389 songs as I type this.

Micro SD -> Mini SD

No information if it is possible to use micro SD cards on devices with mini SD slots.

This is true. Likely this is because there is no information anywhere on that. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a micro sd to mini sd adaptor can be found at [1]

Computer Interface?

If I have a MicroSD card, how do I write stuff to it? The device that uses the MicroSD card doesn't interface with a computer.

Most MicroSD cards come with an adaptor that looks like a normal SD or MMC card with a small slot in the top for the MicroSD card. Since the cards are technically the same apart from case size, it's just a connector adaptor. The adaptor can then be put into a normal SD/MMC card reader. If you didn't get one with your card, I don't know what to suggest. I suppose complain to whoever you got the card from, or see if your local electronics store sells the adaptor (it shouldn't be expensive: it's just some plastic and a few wires). — Saxifrage ✎ 22:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At Spain exist a microSD / miniSD USB dongle adapter (only one model for dongle). At Auchan /Alcampo Hipermarket have a price of 9 € --Museo8bits 09:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Voltage

Are there several standard voltages for microSD ? Some people talk about it, but I can't find anything with google, just a single voltage of 3.3V. Some manufacturers state 2.7V-3.6V.

You're thinking of RS-MMC/DV-MMC, which has two voltages. Wibbble 19:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No I´m a not ;-) --Xerces8 10:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

microSD vs microSDHC

Can someone give definitive info on if devices which support microSD will also support microSDHC automatically? or are microSDHC like SDHC, your device needs explicit support of the interface? --Auroragb 18:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I encountered stuff that takes microSD cards, but doesn't support microSDHC. So I am pretty sure it's NOT automatically compatible. 217.235.75.239 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 02:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adapter?

Is microSD compatible with Memory Stick PRO Duo, and is there an adapter?209.91.61.223 08:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not compatible natively, the adapter does some translation. There are questions about whether it supports MagicGate, but for non-DRM storage, it's known to work.

note 2 is note 5

This is my first contrib to wikipedia, but I noticed that note 2 in the body of the article is listed as note 5 at the bottom (there are only two footnotes). Also the URL it goes to is to a commercial site, and doesn't mention the device it claims to footnote, so does that make it just bogus? 65.78.24.232 (talk) 12:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC) (suppose I should get a username if I'm to contrib, eh?)[reply]

This article and the SHDC article conflict

This article states that the maximum capacity of a MicroSD is 4 GB where it, in the SHDC article, states that SHDC is the first card to go over 2 GB. Does any one know which one is correct? I think it's the SHDC one since i haven't been able to locate a MicroSD card with more than 2 GB. EZtaR (talk) 00:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

16Gb MicroSD

This article states that as of March 2008 MicroSD cards are available in a capacity of 16GB. I am unable to find this capacity on SanDisk's product page or in any of the article's external links. Marking the statement with ^{[citation needed]} until a reference is available. -SpazzTH (talk) 22:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's just plain wrong. I changed it to 8GB; someone can change it back if they find a reference to back it up. As the article notes, 12GB cards are in the pipeline. — Johan the Ghost _seance 21:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NFC claim dubious

The Phonescoop link cited to back up the assertion that MicroSD cards support NFC appears poorly worded. What I think they mean is "MicroSD cards can also operate in SDIO mode, like full-size SD cards. This enables non-memory cards to be created, like wifi, bluetooth, GPS, or NFC."

Two problems with the way it's worded now: First, nobody's built a MicroSDIO NFC card. Second, nobody asserts that TransFlash does not support SDIO. I'm changing it, pending some clear evidence to the contrary. 68.43.149.99 (talk) 20:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
