Talk:MiniSD

Form factor size is shown as ".5" - seems unclear - is it either appropriate or correct notation to put the leading zero?
"0.5" in the article would be clearer...

Can a MiniSD card be read in a regular SD card reader? ---Ransom (--71.4.51.150 23:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC))

Yes, with the appropriate adapter from MiniSD to "regular" SD you can read and write to that card in a regular SD reader.208.252.49.130 14:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you do the same with microSD cards? Talker26 (talk) 13:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Capacities
Changed the maximum capacity from 2GB to 4GB in the capacity section. This is for standard SD, not SDHC. Mantispid 18:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be some confusion out there about how the SD cards are to be formatted. The SD Card Association has official card formatting software. http://www.sdcard.org/Downloads.aspx. The software is free and includes a PDF manual in English and Japanese. The manual notes that "Generally, SD/SCHC Memory Card file systems with generic operating system formatting software do not comply with the SD Memory Card Specification. If you have formatted SD/SDHC Memory Card with generic operating system formatting software, reformat SD/SDHC Memory Card using this software or the appropriate formatting software prepared by the SD hosts provider, and is a ver compatible item to use." 67.169.225.3 04:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)ddevore

Desirable Extension
It would be good to add a table of the pinouts and indicator of pin 1 for each of the SD formats described.

Could we get a picture that shows the size better?
Showing one next to a coin or other common object would probably be good. --Aquillion (talk) 14:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

problem with style

it is written somehow as a troubleshooter.... fcuk it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.134.105 (talk) 18:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Capacity Inconsistency
The summary box at the upper right corner of the article claims that the maximum capacity of the miniSD is 8GB, but the Capactity section says that the cards only range to 6GB. Which, if either, is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.199.192.149 (talk) 22:25, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Misleading: "compatibility is universal"
In the lead it says: "Its compatibility is universal."

This statement is misleading and should be removed. There are incompatibilities as explained in the Capacities section: "devices without specific support for miniSDHC will work only with the older miniSD card." Pgr94 (talk) 22:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

4 Bit transfer mode optional or not?
The article Secure_Digital_card says that "All memory cards must support all three modes [1 Bit, 4 Bit and SPI], except for microSD where SPI is optional." Though the tables in the miniSD card and microSD articles state that 4 Bit mode is optional for all form factors. Now what? --83.171.186.53 (talk) 10:00, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
