MicroSD: Is MicroSD the same as MiniSD?

microSD is smaller than miniSD. You can read/write to microSD cards with the 12-in-1 ImageMate reader/writer if you use a microSD to miniSD adapter or microSD to SD adapter. At least one of these adapters usually comes with the microSD card.

Normal size SD card, not microSD. The SD cards must be of small capacity, like only 1 gigabyte. If you get a 1 GB regular size SD card, it should work okay.

As far as I know Micro SD cards are the only type Samsung devices use. So yes.

The only thing that fits in a microSD card slot is a microSD card. You would need some type of futuristic shrinking ray to shrink an SD card to a size that would fit in a microSD slot.

Yes. If I remember correctly, the paperwork says that up to a 16Gb microSD will work, but I have two of these units and they both have 32Gb cards installed and work with no problems. I tried a 64Gb microSD with no luck in either unit, so apparently 32Gb is as high as you can go. (I have almost 5000 songs on each 32Gb card).

I have no idea because I have returned the very unstable 64Gb microSD(Sandisk) card before I got this one.

I don't know. Before i bought it i had actually insisted that the store clerk attempt to find the answer to that quesiton; we found NO INFO one way or the other. (That should have been an omen for me to skip the purchase.) I DO KNOW that I have inserted a 16GB for the external micro SD; and it IS FUNCTIONING. I have not tried a larger one.

No, according to their specs, only a max microSD of 128GB. It does, however, have 256GB of internal memory. http://www.astellnkern.com/eng/htm/ak240/ak240_spec.asp

Hi Grace.... as far as I'm aware all MicroSD chips are the same size so if you Samsung takes one then Yes it should work fine. You might want to call a store / provider etc.... just to check but I think you're good.

I bought this last year: it is a microSD ( see also description further down on the page)

MicroSD cards have not changed in the past few years so I would not imagine there to be a software / compatibility problem you mention. I think you got very unlucky. I bought a 4GB Micro SD by Sandisk and the unit recognises it without any problem. I must admit though, that I had difficulty copying my files from my PC to the Expansion Card. I could not do it with Windows Media Player (even though it recognised the expansion card). To copy files to the MincroSD I had to put it in my cell phone and connect my phone to my computer! Ugh! And one last problem, after using a MicroSD card in the player, the battery life diminished from about 3 hours playing time to about 30 minutes.

I'm pretty sure the file system for the MicroSD slot is FAT16. So, even when they make bigger cards, the largest you'll ever be able to use is the 2GB ones.

Physically, SD cards are the same size unless you're referring to mini-SDs which are very small but still work in a standard SD slot by using an adapter that usually comes with a mini-SD. The difference in SD cards is internal and has to do with speed and capacity. The IOEGA MediaShair has the standard SD slot that will except any SD card.

Initially I received the micro SDHC in the standard sealed retail package only. Upon contacting the retailer about the missing adaptor; the later was promptly mailed in the original storage casing. Yes, in short, the casing has an allotted space for the microSD to fit in comfortably.

See new post in the "Spare Batteries" discussion.Great deal too!8 gig microSDHC continues to work great in a USB adapter! No problems.Another advantage to this setup is that the SanDisk 8 gig microSDHC are now 13 bucks on amazon!And, even with the micro USB reader, it's still way smaller than a standard USB thumb drive! (important because of how it sticks out from the side) And it's cheaper than a SanDisk 8 gig USB thumb drive too! AND I can still use the micro card in my mp3 player!Talk about having your cake and eat it too.

Hi James, Yes, it works just like a usb drive so that you can copy the files onto your computer. That's how I use mine. I record files, then copy them onto my hard drive for editing. Not sure about the mini vs micro part. i think it is the mini. The cable it comes with has a regular size on one end, and the correct one for the device on the other end. Hope this helps! Doug
