Does it accept MicroSD? Does it support SDHC (high capacity — anything over 4 MB IIRC)?
Pretty much all my devices are SD(HC) or MicroSD(HC), usually with 32GB.

It's all just memory when all is said and done.SD is about the most commonly used,MS (memory stick) originated with Sony,I don't think it's all that commonly used apart from in Sony products (cameras,etc).xD is,IIRC,used largely in digital cameras (mine accepts both xD and Compact Flash) and I think CF is the same.I'm not expert so those who *are* experts might have better info.

There are a whole lot of card formats out there, but the most predominant one is SD (the “HC” means High Capacity). SDHC currently go up to 128 Gb (I don’t know what the theoretical upper limit is).
There are 3 sizes of SD — Micro (usually for PDAs and Cell phones) - about 1/4” by 1/2” or so. Mini (not seen very often) is about 3/4” by 3/4”. Normal/standard is about 1” x 7/8” or so.
Sony introduced a technology called memory stick. They like to put it in all their products, but eventually gave in and starting using SD. Mo one actually USES Memory Stick.
The other cards and formats don’t get a lot of use.
Maybe some FReeper with knowledge of the Next Great Thing can let us know what he/she is seeing...

xD cards are used in Olympus cameras; IIRC Fuji cameras as well.
Micro SD cards are pretty much the only format used in phones and MP3 players now. They usually come with an adapter to fit into any SD card reader.

The x/D cards were used in older Fuji and Olympus digital cameras. However, I believe that newer models have switched to the more common SD cards.

Thanks to everyone for their replies, I learned a lot!
Will stick to high speed USB sticks for now, but it’s nice to have a universal reader, heck, only cost me a buck. Garage sales RULE!!

I’ve been using SD cards for several yrs., primarily in cameras.
Learned of a feature last week that I didn’t know. (duh)
They have a write protection lock on them just like the old floppy.
Where have I been?
