Thanks for the link. I have just ordered 3 of them and will install them when they arrive. Just gotta be better than all the compact flash card incompatibility crap! Cheaper cards too.

But once you have an adapter that works, you don't need to worry about an incompatible card like you do with CF cards. (so in my opinion SD cards are more compatible, not less)
I tested around 15 SD cards of more than 10 different brands and they all worked well on this £6 adapter.
Edit:
Speed was a bigger factor years ago when SD cards were slower, but shouldn't be any more. Didn't measure myself though - guess Thgill is right.
By the way - be careful with PCMCIA-SD adapters, as many are either 32bit PC-card, or do not support SDHC. |
