Hi All,

I was wondering, is there any drawback to using a Micro SD with adapter instead of a SD card? Is there is any deteriorating performance? Is the speed the same?

I would like to use such card because I can easily flash the microSD contents to my mobile phone and use it as a portable storage when needed.

Thanks,
Eli
 
There will be a significant drop in performance when compared to a premium SD/SDHC card but the microSD cards do perform almost as well as as a low-end SD/SDHC card when used in an adapter. They are obviously designed for different applications.

In my testing the 2GB SanDisk microSD card performed about as well as the same-capacity "standard" SanDisk (blue) SD card: About 10 MB/s read, 6 MB/s write for either card. I cannot say the same for the SDHC (4GB and larger) versions of the card because they use different IC chips than their 2GB brandmates.

Would a Class 6 micro SD compare well with a Class 6 'standard' SD, say 8GB made by SanDisk?
